Encouraging Families in the Discipleship of their Kids
Our story isn't anything monumental - we are simply two sisters desiring to raise our children to know and love Jesus.
Kira and her husband Jason were lovingly discipling their kids. They were reading the bible, singing, praying, and catechizing them. The only problem... the catechism. It was a catechism Kira had printed off the internet. It was on cheap paper, ripped, crinkled, coffee stained, and there were black pen marks crossing out words, and her illegible handwriting switching up all the "thees, thous, and thines" because no one has spoken like that since the 1600s.
Once Kenzie had her little girl, family discipleship became a frequent conversation between her and Kira. Kira lovingly modeled "Read, Pray, Sing, Catechize" for her - but there was no way Kenzie was using that crinkled, ripped, and mess of a paper to catechize her kids. So they planned and prayed and the rest is history!
God made Kira and Kenzie so in-sync, yet so different and it can get crazy with 7 kids running around but they make it work and do what they can!
Our goal at Alongside Them is to encourage families who long for their kids to know and love Jesus. We encourage through creating resources in areas that are in need and sharing bits of wisdom as we come alongside our own kids.
