In this episode of the 226 FBC Boerne Next Gen Podcast, Daniel, Teresa, and Staci unpack the Foundation Phase of the NextGen Roadmap—focusing on preschool years (ages 3-5), a critical season for shaping spiritual habits and values in young children.

As parents, you are constantly building something in your home—whether intentional or not. The foundation you lay in these early years sets the stage for a lifetime of faith. But where do you start? What habits, values, and rhythms will create a solid spiritual foundation for your child to grow into a lifelong disciple of Jesus?

This episode explores:
✅ The importance of beginning with the end in mind—What kind of faith and character do you want to see in your child as they grow?
✅ How daily habits like Bible reading, prayer, and conversations about God shape a child’s faith
✅ Why kids need to see awe and wonder in God, not just another superhero story
✅ The power of community and relationships—How mentors, small groups, and church family shape faith development
✅ How to model and reinforce biblical truth in everyday life
✅ Why marriage and personal spiritual health matter in parenting

Practical ways to strengthen your child’s foundation:
✔ Faith-filled routines – bedtime Bible stories, mealtime prayers, and car ride conversations
✔ Simple family values – writing down and displaying biblical values in your home
✔ Engaging faith experiences – hands-on activities like the Wedding Celebration (Jesus’ first miracle) and Rocket Day (Jesus’ ascension) to bring Scripture to life
✔ Building a support system – Surrounding your child (and yourself) with mentors, small groups, and godly community

💡 Key takeaway: The foundation of faith isn’t built overnight, but consistent, intentional steps create a lasting impact. And if you haven’t started yet—it’s never too late!

👉 Listen now for practical ways to lay a foundation that will help your child grow into a lifelong follower of Christ.
