Much of the time it is easier for us to live for Jesus out in the world than it is for us to do the same with those closest to us.  While it is normal to relax a little around those who know us best, this is not an excuse for acting in ways that damage the faith of those who we say matter most.  Our families are our first priority in terms of discipleship.  If being a disciple of Jesus doesn’t have a positive influence on our spouse and our children, we don’t have as much good going on as we may think.  If you struggle in this area, it is perfectly normal.  In this series we’re going to see what God has to say to guide and direct us in discipling our family.
