Series Overview
Each week, we’ll walk through a powerful line of the Lord’s Prayer and discover how it speaks into our family lives. We’ll begin by establishing God-centered homes and honoring His name. Then, we’ll explore how to align our family’s purpose with God’s will, trust Him for daily provision, and practice forgiveness that heals. We’ll close by learning how to guard our families spiritually and stand strong in faith—no matter the mess.
