These words which I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (ESV)

What is Home Connect?

A weekly family devotion, already included.

Most parents want to lead their family in worship; few know where to start. Home Connect gives you a simple, repeatable plan you don't have to invent.

What it actually is

Every Adult Quiet Time (Commentary / Journal edition) contains a weekly section called Home Connect. It's a guided plan parents can use to lead a focused 15 to 30 minute family devotion, once a week. Same passage your family has been reading all week, just gathered around the table together.

It's not a separate book. It's not an extra subscription. It's pages already inside the Adult Quiet Time you (or anyone in your family) is using daily.

The three principles

Have it weekly. Keep it focused. Have a plan.

Home Connect is built on three simple principles parents can apply every week, in any household.

01

Have it weekly

Set a fixed day and time. Aim for 15 to 30 minutes (shorter for young kids). Stack it onto something you already do, like the school commute or Sunday dinner, if your week is full. Consistency beats perfection.

02

Keep it focused

Match the length and depth to the kids' ages. Have everyone do their personal Quiet Time first so the family time reinforces what each member is already learning. Don't try to cover everything in one sitting.

03

Have a plan

Use Home Connect's four-part rhythm: Read, Discuss, Sing, Pray. The plan is already written. You just open it.

The four-part rhythm

Read. Discuss. Sing. Pray.

A simple weekly cadence any household can run. Each piece takes only a few minutes.

Read

Take turns by verse, or have one member read aloud. Use a Bible app to listen to the passage. Choose a modern translation for younger kids.

chat

Discuss

Pull one key thought from the passage. Lean on the Adult Commentary content. Ask:

  • Who are the people in this passage?
  • Where does God show up?
  • What's one way to apply it this week?

Sing

Sing one worship song together. Search "kids worship songs with lyrics" on YouTube to find age-appropriate options. Don't worry about being good at it.

Pray

Use sentence prompts so kids can join in:

  • "Lord, I thank You for…"
  • "Lord, forgive me for…"
  • "Lord, help me be more…"

The single most useful tip we can give you

Have each family member do their personal Quiet Time before family devotions, so everyone arrives already familiar with the passage. Sharing time stops being a cold-start and starts being a conversation. Five minutes of prep changes the whole experience.

Where it lives

In every Adult Quiet Time, print or online.

Home Connect is part of the Adult Quiet Time you (or your spouse, or your teen) is already using. You can read it in the printed Adult Quiet Time book, or open it inside Quiet Time Online on your phone. Same content, both places.

Each week's Home Connect is keyed to the same Bible passages your family has already been reading individually. By the time you sit down together, everyone's already met that Scripture once.
