Research shows that parents are the single most influential factor in a child's faith. 82% of kids whose parents talk about and practice faith at home go on to follow Jesus as adults — compared to 36% whose parents simply bring them to church. Alabaster Kids is one hour a week. You have the rest. We want to help you make the most of it.

Try these over dinner one night, spread across morning breakfasts, or return to them on the go in the car this week.

Weekly Scripture Passage: John 16:7-11

On the night before he died, Jesus told his friends he was leaving — but that it was actually good news. He was sending the Holy Spirit, who would come to show the world what's really true. This week your child learned that the Spirit reveals three things the world often misses: what's really wrong (sin), what's really right (righteousness), and who's really won (judgment). (Feel free to re-watch the BibleProject Righteousness video together!)

1. The Holy Spirit comes to show what's really true — like pulling back a curtain. What's something you’ve learned about Jesus that changed how you saw the world?

2. Jesus says the deepest problem in the world isn't just bad behavior — it's being separated from God. Does that feel true? What do the people around you think the world's biggest problem is?

3. The world said Jesus was guilty. God raised him and said he's the one who got it right. Have you ever seen something that looked one way to everyone — but turned out to be totally different?

4. Is there someone in your life who needs to see things more clearly — about God, about themselves, about Jesus? Can we pray for them together right now?
