What Are You Already Handing Down?

Every family has a faith story.

You inherited beliefs, traditions, practices, stories, songs, and ideas about what matters from the people and communities who came before you.

And now, whether you’ve thought about it intentionally or not, your children are receiving something from you, too.

They’re learning through what you say about God.

They’re learning through how you pray.

They’re learning through what happens when someone sins.

They’re learning through the books in your home, the holidays you celebrate, the way you talk about church, how you work and rest, how you treat other people, and what your family considers beautiful, good, and worth making time for.

The question isn’t whether you’re handing something down.

You are.

The question is:

What are you handing down?

The Family Faith Inventory

This free 10-page reflection guide is designed to help you slow down and notice the faith, traditions, values, and practices your family has inherited—and the things you’re already passing on to your children.

This isn’t about deciding whether you’re a “good Christian family.”

It’s not about creating a perfect family discipleship plan.

And it’s not about having every theological question answered.

It’s simply a place to start paying attention.

Inside, You’ll Explore:

What Did I Inherit?
Reflect on the beliefs, church practices, family traditions, and values that shaped you.

What Am I Handing Down?
Consider what your children are learning from the ordinary life of your home.

Look Around Your Home
Notice what your family makes time for, spends money on, reads, celebrates, and prioritizes.

What Am I Still Questioning?
Choose one inherited belief, practice, or tradition you’ve never really stopped to examine.

Keep • Question • Change
Begin discerning what you want to preserve, what you want to understand more deeply, and what you may want to reconsider.

What Do I Want My Children to Inherit?
Start putting words to the faith, values, practices, and character you hope your children will carry with them.

This Free Guide Is For You If…

• You want to be more intentional about passing your faith to your children.
• You’ve inherited Christian traditions but haven’t thought much about where they came from.
• You’re wondering what your children are actually learning from your family’s everyday life.
• You’re sorting through beliefs or practices you’re not sure you still hold.
• You want to build a stronger family faith culture without adding another overwhelming routine.
• You want to think more deeply about what you want your children to know, love, practice, and remember.

You Don’t Have to Figure It All Out

The goal of this inventory isn’t to give you all the answers.

It’s to help you ask better questions.

You might discover something you want to preserve.

You might find something you want to explore more deeply.

You might realize there’s something you’ve simply been doing because that’s the way your family has always done it.

And that’s okay.

Sometimes the most faithful answer is:

“I’m still studying.”

This is simply your place to begin.
