4. Practice #4: Scripture

4. Practice #4: Scripture

Author: QB Kids and Families May 11, 2025 Duration: 10:52

Welcome to this week’s episode of Families Following Jesus.
In Season 1, as part of Queensland Baptists’ Fan the Flame series, we’re exploring the practices of the early church as we walk through the book of Acts together.

In episode 4, we’re focusing on Practice #4: Scripture.
How can reading the Bible help us know God better — and build a strong foundation for life?

This week, we’re diving into God’s Word and discovering how it’s more than just a big book full of stories — it’s one big story that points us to Jesus! The early church devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and we can do the same today by reading Scripture together as families.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why the Bible is described as a sweet gift — even sweeter than honey!
  • A story Jesus told about two builders and why God's Word is the best foundation
  • Our favourite Bible stories (yes, Daniel and the lions make an appearance!)
  • Fun and practical ways your family can start reading the Bible together
  • Let’s explore how Scripture helps us stand strong in life’s storms and stay close to God every day.

Families Following Jesus is a podcast from QB Kids and Families that recognises the hectic rhythm of family life in Australia. Instead of adding another lengthy commitment, it offers short, focused conversations designed to fit into the school run, the commute, or those moments before practice. The first season, titled Fan the Flame, takes a practical look at the book of Acts. It connects directly with the Queensland Baptists devotional, breaking down seven core practices that defined the early Christian community. Each episode explores one of these historical rhythms, translating ancient wisdom into relatable ideas for modern households. You'll hear straightforward discussions about integrating faith into daily routines, not as another task, but as a natural part of your family's story. This isn't about theoretical theology; it's about tangible steps for walking out your beliefs together, right where you are. Tune in for a dose of grounded encouragement that meets you in the busyness.
