Helping Our Children Put Off the Old Life
“Now those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” — Galatians 5:24 (NASB 1995)
Teaching our children to follow Jesus means showing them how to lay down their old ways—and it starts with us.
We model what crucifying the flesh looks like when we say no to pride, to impatience, to selfishness. When we confess, repent, and walk by the Spirit, our children learn to do the same.
This is real discipleship—dying daily, and living by the Spirit.
Family Talk:
- What does it mean to “crucify the flesh”?
- What’s one thing we each want the Spirit to help us let go of?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help our family put off anything that doesn’t honor Jesus. Let us belong fully to Him. 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.
