Mothers: Builders of the Faith

Mothers have always played a powerful role in building and shaping the faith of generations. In this series, we’ll look at how God uses the love, strength, and prayers of mothers to lay foundations of faith that last. Whether you’re a mom, a grandmother, or someone shaped by the influence of a godly woman, these messages will remind you of the deep spiritual impact of motherhood and encourage you to keep building lives of faith one heart at a time.

Day 3: Discipleship Begins at Home

Discipleship isn’t limited to classrooms or Bible studies — it begins where we live. In Deuteronomy 6, God calls parents to teach His truth diligently, not just on the Sabbath but in the ordinary rhythms of life: sitting at home, walking along the road, lying down, and getting up.

Mothers have a unique role in this spiritual formation. Whether through prayer before school, a scripture on the fridge, or quiet talks during tough seasons, the home becomes the primary classroom for faith. It’s not about perfection — it’s about presence, consistency, and pointing children toward God one moment at a time.

Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:1–9 (ESV)
“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.”
