ADVICE

Ask One Daily Question

Ask yourself daily, "Where did I see God today?" to notice God's activity in your life.
Use your answer as a simple window to share faith with your children when appropriate.

INSIGHT

Windows And Framing Matter

Creating windows and framing help children glimpse your relationship with God and see God's work.
You must first notice God yourself before you can authentically open those windows for children.

ADVICE

Four Helpful Categories

Look for God in four helpful categories: creation/beauty, worship/Bible, provision/protection, and acts of kindness.
Use these categories to prompt answers when your mind or your children's minds go blank.

In today’s episode, Jess and Anna chat about how to use the question ‘Where did you see God today?’, as we start 2026. It’s a great question to ask yourself and opens up lots of opportunities to create windows and frame (two of the Five Key Tools of Parenting for Faith) for the children and young people in your life. Anna is the Parenting for Faith Ministry Lead and has been getting to grips with Parenting for Faith for the last 15 years, the last 8 of those working at BRF Ministries. Jess is the Development & Relationship Lead at Parenting for Faith. She is ordained and new to the BRF Ministries team last year but has worked with children and young people in church and diocesan teams for over 20 years. They are also both parents trying to figure out how to do this in the normal chaos of everyday family life. Links: Where did you see God today?
