The Mother Son Prayer journal will help you grow a deeper relationship with your son and help him connect with God at the same time.

You thought it would be easy to have spiritual conversations with your son.

It seems that every other mom knows how to do this.

“It’ll just come up naturally in conversation,” they say.

BUT WHAT IF IT NEVER COMES UP?

Connecting with God and with each other takes intentionality, and sometimes the busy pace of life doesn’t allow important conversations to come up naturally.

WHAT IF TALKING ABOUT GOD FEELS AWKWARD?

We either ignore the issue altogether or we pass our son a devotional book or Bible study to do on his own. 

WHAT IF YOU PUSH HIM AWAY FROM GOD?

He doesn’t want to read the Bible alone or do his own Bible study because, frankly, it feels like homework. If you’d known he would leave the devotional book under his bed, you wouldn’t have wasted money on it in the first place.

There is an easier way….

…a fun way, where you enjoy being together, reading about the Bible, and even praying!

It’s called PARTNERSHIP.

I worked in Children’s Ministries for over a dozen years, so you’d think I would know a thing or two about natural spiritual conversations. But it was tricky for me! 

First I tried devotional books to springboard our conversation. But I couldn’t find something that really engaged my boys and actually formed their faith.

Next, I tried workbook-style devotionals where my boys were supposed to reflect deeply and write paragraph-length answers. That was DEFINITELY not the answer for our family. They hated all the writing! 

Frankly, I almost gave up. Then, one day I realized that when we read the bible or a devotional together,  I can explain and help them dig deeper. They needed something in between regular devotionals and personal Bible studies. Something that would help them build some of the spiritual disciplines without it feeling like work.

Someday, they’ll do journals or Bible studies on their own. But the path to that kind of deep reflection goes through the land of PARTNERSHIP. When we partner, we can go deep AND have fun, which is the best way to a boy’s heart.
