14 Ways to Leave a Legacy of Faith

As families aim to bring the Gospel home, our prayers begin to reach beyond our homes and stretch to the generations to come. We begin to hope that we might leave a legacy of faith. 

Here are 14 ideas on how the Gospel Family can aim to pass on this vision to the next generation of families in hopes that they too would cultivate Family Discipleship, Family Worship, and Family Missions:

1. Seek ways to grow together spiritually while reenacting the Gospel in the home.
2. Cast a bold, God-sized vision for your family.
3. Establish biblical spiritual leadership in the home while highlighting God’s presence, clearing out idols, and serving the Lord.
