#2 Be With Jesus - Allen Holmes

Allen strongly urges parents to model living in God's presence daily, beyond just devotional times. He shares how his family prays consistently with and over the children, teaching them to expect God to speak through scripture. Worship is modeled as a vital battle cry. When crisis exposes real character, a lifestyle with Jesus enables parents to model His responses. Allen simply seeks after God, organically sowing kingdom principles into kids' lives and transforming how they do relationships. He gives recent examples of hearing God prompt small gestures to connect with his college daughter.
