Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'train up a child' look like practically?

Training involves instruction (teaching truth), modeling (living truth), and discipline (correcting toward truth). Deuteronomy 6:7 says to teach 'when thou sittest... walkest... liest down... risest up' — meaning faith woven into everyday life, not just Sunday morning.

What if I didn't start training my children when they were young?

It's never too late. God redeems time and multiplies seed. Start where you are — a teenager can still be shaped, and an adult child can still be prayed for. Your consistent faith and prayers have power regardless of when you begin.
