5 Tips for Helping Your Kids to Come to Know and Love God

It’s crazy that Henry was the child who you were worried about speech delays and he is the loudest and most clearly understood kid singing! ☺️ so awesome!

All 3 Kids seem to have memorized the hymns so well, but Henry really stands out here, wow! He really knows the texts so well, what a smart boy! God bless him

Ivy saying "for His own glory" has to be the cutest thing ever 😍 💕

Singing also helps with their vocabulary. Henry sparkles when he sings. All three are adorable. Can hardly wait to meet the new baby.

Ivy: "praise the lord!"😍😍😍

I totally agree that kids can learn while moving around and wiggling!

This was one of the best videos you’ve put out yet! So insightful. I watched it then had my husband watch it with me. I left wanting to incorporate hymns and more consistent catechisms and verse memorization. Love that you showed your kids (and Ben) for real life examples. Very inspiring and encouraging. I hope you put out more videos like this! Thank you for sharing.

Jessa, Thank you so much for this! As the owner and director of a private Christian school, I can attest to your thought that parents sometimes defer their personal responsibility of Bible teaching and devotion to a church or Christian school. Every morning during the school year, I present a Bible reading, devotion and prayer with my students. Often I learn that no one in the home has established a home devotion or prayer time. God bless you for your example and teaching! PS So heartwarming to hear Henry, Ivy, and Spurgeon singing so joyfully and reciting scripture! ❤🙌

Jessa, what you and Ben are doing by sharing your love of God with your children is the greatest blessing they could ever receive. Reading God's Word, praying, asking questions, memorization of scriptures, and singing joful to God..AMAZING gifts. Praying for your sweet little family, and for continual blessings for you all! 🙏🙏💗💗

The kids singing just melted my heart!!! How sweet to hear them singing of Gods grace and Love!!

Jessa….this video reminded me of how much more I can do to keep God alive in my heart. I will follow your five steps and I think this will help me return to the Lord. Thank you.

You have no idea how happy I am that you continue to make videos!!! I’m so glad 😃

I have a 18 yr old, 14 month old and am 7 months pregnant with our 3rd baby and I sit and let my daughter watch your channel. We do not watch tv but I do let her watch you and your children. This is good for us. It is faith based and appropriate. Family friendly. Thanks

Henry is so good at memorizing songs ❤️

Wonderful parenting, Jessa and Ben.

My goodness! I love these children. The Lord’s special journey will come to past for all of them.💖

From what I've seen, this is by far my favorite Jesse Seawald video. God-bless you and your family.

I absolutely enjoyed hearing your children singing, so beautiful they are so lucky to have such wonderful parents

That was so wonderful to watch this video. U don't see this anymore. I was raised in a church also. Keep up the good work.God bless u all!

Omg when Ivy said "praise the Lord" at the end of a song...how so so so cute💗🐢🐢🐢cara

This video has really helped me. Even if a person doesn't have kids, or if their kids are grown, it encourages us to pray more and read the Bible more and trust in God, etc. It's not too late. This video is a reminder that we need to have these things as a part of our lives, with or without kids. Not everyone had Christian or loving parents, and it's a good possibility that these types of people did not raise their kids as Christians or did indeed make multiple mistakes raising them. (That's me.) I love Jessa and her parents, and I'm grateful for everything they have taught me through their examples.

As a mom to a 3 year old, that didn't grow up up in a very Godly home, i'm trying so hard to make sure my son follows God. it's hard because i'm not perfect, either, but i learn so much every day and i'm trying so hard. This seemed like i just sat down with you talking as friends and i really appreciate this video, as you're in a similar season of life❤️

The kids singing are absolutely adorable!!!

I am 19 years old and I have been a Christian my entire life but I was never really like a devoted Christian but ever since watching you and your families videos when you were young it has inspired me to actually read the Bible and taken what it says and apply it to my life every day so I just wanted to say thank you

Amazed by Spurgeon's thought on Jonah! What a sharp thinker!

When the scripture brings up Jesus saying: “Let the Little Children come to me.” This is what I imagine. I so easily trusted God’s love as a child, and I am in my 30s and feel as though I need to find that yolk that is easy and burden that is light once more.

I love the way you are raising your kids, such a great example!!

I loved this video, Jessa. It was sweet to see your young children learning about God. As you said, even Ivy (while moving all around 😁) is learning. A friend's 2-3 year old granddaughter used to stay with me for days at a time. I said a simple blessing before we ate ("Thank you God, for all the good things You do for me"). Because she was so young, I didn't know what that meant to her. One day after we said the blessing, I heard her saying..."and Thank you for my toys...". She also liked a praying hands necklace that I often wore. I told her it was hands praying to God. One day she asked me what a model of a church was. I told her, that's where you learn about Jesus & God. She jumped up, ran into my bedroom & returned with my necklace...saying "This, put it on me!" She was no older than three years old. It amazes me how much seeps into their little hearts & souls, at such a young age. Just wanted to say Jessa, that your family is (and has been for a very long time), such a blessing to me. 🙏💞

I am impressed with your committment and dedication to the education of their faith.

The greatest impact on children is when parents r truly living a Christian life, even when nobody is around. If people are one way in public and not living it at home, kids see that and it affects them into adulthood. Devotions r great, too!

I used to work at a daycare. 2 years olds can absolutely sit for 10-15 mins for lessons and even look forward to it.
Yall are doing great!

I agree that I need to start helping my kiddos outside of church!

Preach, Jessa. Making those little disciples ❤️ Praying for your patience and endurance during this late stage of your pregnancy! God bless!

Love how you teach those sweet babies about Jesus ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hearing these little angels singing blessed me today. God bless you and your family.😊

What a good video providing an example of how one family does family devotions. Well done.

So true in regards to how much two year olds take in, my oldest is two and you would think he isn’t learning anything. Then out of no where you hear him singing a hymn, talking about Jesus and more. It gives him so much confidence.

Thank you for being faithful to the Lord in this area. This video has convicted my heart about my slackness in this area. As my children have gotten older, I've really let things slip with family devotion.
This has encouraged me to "get back on track" . Keep faithfully serving and training your little ones. As they grow older, they tend to go different directions and our time with them is more limited.

YOU ARE A PRECIOUS GODLY FAMILY! The message of love and loving instruction 🙏💪🏼🤗

Can't tell you how much this blessed me. Your babies are a real credit to you. God bless you xxx

Amen! Even wiggly children are hearing God's Word. Great video. Thank you!!

Ivy's eyes went bigger then they already are saying the 10 commentments. So cute.

When Ivy initiates the final song, lol. So cute.

Loved this video. You and Ben are doing a great job with your children.

This is wonderful! Thank you Jessa! 💙💙💙

This amazing. I don’t have any kids but I loved this!!!

Wow my heart is in two places as an older woman with almost grown grandchildren. I didnt do this with my children, and I see now the difference . 😭.
Jessa and Ben continue dont let nothing stop you from teaching your children. You have a beautiful, loving and forgiving family.

Ivy is so cute! You're teaching your children well Jessa, God bless you

O henry singing made me cey from such innocence and joy!! God bless you and thank u for sharing. I had to take a moment and pray after hearimg your babies praise God.

Yesssss that is the content I m subscribing for!! So glad you can feel free to share your faith.
Haters are going to hate. Pay no attention.
Jesus is Lord.

This is a great video thanks Jessa and Ben and family. Great for this time where in. God bless yall.

9:38 “Praise the Lord!” Yes, Ivy Jane, Praise the Lord! 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your children are so precious....

Thank you! Can’t wait to watch later.

These are great ideas to include for family time and teaching our little ones about God, it is so cool to see how much they can learn and understand at such a young age!

God Bless You All!!

Living the word is most important. My parents never taught me scripture verses and never talked about God & Jesus. We did not pray or sing. But they lived Godly lives, attended church, sent us to Sunday school where we sang, prayed & learned verse. I never questioned the word of God because my parents showed us his way by example; living such an honest, hard working and neighborly life.

Your such a good mom!

This is so helpful. Thank you for taking the time and sharing 💕

Love your sweet family❤️

Appreciate the structure outline. The best way I found for teaching is transferring thru positive/love/bonding time/experiences. Like: every night before bed read a story: or out to breakfast after church. Affirm their progress with a big smile, big Yay!!!, big hugs, and very good. Your children are adorable ❤❤❤

Thank you for posting this.

Your children are precious and so beautiful inside and out!!❤️🙏

Loved watching your precious kiddos sing and praise God. Love you and your family 👪❤💙💕

This is so awesome! teaching your children in the ways of the Lord. Your children are Blessed. So many children have parents and all they know is how the parents live in front of them, the partying with friends, drinking, getting drunk, dirty dancing , cussing, all this in front of kids. What an awesome example you are.

Such a Blessing Thank you for sharing🥰🙏

So encouraging Jessa, I’m expecting my first little one and this is very encouraging. God bless you and your family

Wonderful, wonderful, love the praises of these beautiful children, GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS SEEWALD FAMILY 🙏🙏🙏🌈🌈📖➕💎💎❤️❤️

Wow❤️ this blesses me! Thank you so much for sharing Jessa! In a world that is so corrupt it’s nice to see something like this🙏

Awww the kids all singing, my heart is so happy. ❤️

I too need to pray more ab parenting for my future kids! I have a little sister and she comes to me with questions and its like one subject leeds to another and sometimes i'm like "woow someday i'll be responsible of teaching EVERYTHING to a person, how did my mom do it?" Parenting is definitely something we need to do hand on hand with God

That's an example of Parents doing everything right...I still am so impressed on how smart your Children are..I think you have a song leader in Henry...

❤️Good choice for a video.. love your content!

Thank you for sharing. Very insightful. We had a rough time corralling our 5 when they were little. It is true though how you would be surprised how much they retain when they're standing on their head lol.

I KNOW THEY ARE A BIT SMALL YET BUT WE USED TO DO BIBLE DRILLS ARE AMAZING WAY TO HAVE A GREAT TIME AT THE SAME TIME ALLOWING THEM TO GET MORE COMFORTABLE LEARNING THEIR BOOKS OF THE BIBLE❤️ GREAT JOB!! I believe the Lord is well pleased🙏🏼✝️👏🏼

Thanks for sharing the word and tips on how to keep The Lord present! I just keep The Bible App on my phone so I get at least one scripture to reflect on for that day! Great links!

I love this video so much! You are an awesome person and Mom! You lifted my heart and reminded me of what is most important in life! I am a Christian and am grateful for everything you said today!! Thank you!!❤️🙏

I love this so much!!!! I wish I would have been half the mom you are when my kids were young.

I love watching them sing!! ADORABLE!

Praise Him! Praise Him all ye little children! God is love. God is love. Great job little ones. You are so precious!

Ivy's giggle is so cute!

You’re such a wonderful Mommy. I am praying for your family.

My mom and I always enjoy family worship. We pray, bring up scriptures and sing. Sometimes when we sing, I'm on the piano and my brother Jason is on the guitar

You do an amazing job... I had a very hard time being calm. 👏

Thank you for your testimony!

You are amazing and your family is too! Thank you for all your inspiration with Jesus and family!

I would love a video on your homeschooling routines and resources!

Thanks for sharing. God bless

Oh my goodness how precious the children singing. Thanks so much for sharing.

Great video. Thank you. God is great!

Thank you dear Jessa❤❤❤❤ i wish all the parents on earth would be like you. Your children are incredibly blessed to have a momma like you❤❤❤ your video really gives me a lot of encouragement to help our children to come to Christ as well. My grandma took me to baptist church at 6 yo, and my life has been an absolute blessing ever since❤ praise the Lord❤ thank you for sharing❤❤❤

Such an encouraging video! Thank you for all the resources ❤️

My parents would read us this devotional book called keys for kids and I LOVED those as a kid

What a beautiful gift you are giving your Children! God bless all of you!

I loved your message . Thank you for sharing

You and Ben are a testament to both of your parents. They raised you both well and you are passing on the wisdom that you were trained up in. God Bless your family and your extended families❤️

Excellent Jessa we must raise them from infancy in the ways of our Lord.

Bless you Jessa!!!!
