The Art of Godliness, Episode 3: Family Devotions

The Art of Godliness

Today I bring you episode 3 of The Art of Godliness, the new podcast hosted by myself and my good friend Paul Martin. The purpose of the podcast is to think out loud and in public about how to live a quiet and peaceful life, godly and dignified in every way. In episode 1 we discussed conflict resolution and in episode 2 turned to honoring parents. Now, in episode 3, we turn to family devotions. We discuss what constitutes family devotions, where we find them in the Bible, why we ought to do them, and how we ought to do them. All that in just 25 minutes! We hope you enjoy it and benefit from it.
