Teaching Our Children to Walk in the Spirit
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.” — Galatians 5:16 (NASB 1995)
Children don’t just watch our words—they imitate our walk.
Paul says to walk by the Spirit so we don’t give in to the flesh. This is something we must model before we teach.
When your children see you pause to pray before reacting, or choose patience over frustration, you’re teaching them how to walk in the Spirit by example.
We’re not perfect, but we’re being made more like Christ.
Family Talk:
- What does walking with the Spirit look like in our home?
- Can you think of a time when we saw God help us say “no” to something wrong?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help this home to walk closely with You. Let us follow You more than our feelings, and grow in obedience and love. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
