Ep. 416 – Faith in the Small Things: Building Lasting Family Devotional Rhythms with Melissa Kruger

Family devotionals often begin with the  best of  intentions—but somewhere between busy schedules, distracted kids, and the pressures of everyday life, they can  quickly feel  overwhelming or inconsistent.  

 

In this episode of the  Raising Godly Girls Podcast , Melissa Bearden sits down with author, Bible teacher, and  The Gospel Coalition  leader Melissa Kruger to talk about what it really looks like to build lasting, grace-filled devotional rhythms at home. Together, they offer encouragement for parents who long to disciple their daughters in God's Word but feel stretched thin or unsure where to begin.  

 

Melissa shares both personal and practical insight—from her own experiences growing up with family  devotionals  to leading them in her own home today. This conversation reminds us that spiritual growth  doesn't  require perfection or polished routines. In fact, some of the most meaningful moments of discipleship happen  in the midst of  interruptions, questions, and even the occasional "train wreck" devotional.  

 

You'll  also hear how to release the pressure to perform, redefine what success looks like in family discipleship, and create simple, sustainable rhythms that point your daughter to Jesus over time. Whether your family is just starting out or trying to reestablish consistency, this episode offers hope that God is faithfully at work through even the smallest efforts.  

 

Because raising Godly girls  isn't  about doing everything perfectly— it's  about faithfully planting seeds of truth and trusting God for the growth. <span class= "EOP Selected SCXW66673730 BCX0" data-ccp-props= "
