Time Together: It Matters
This was more than just a movie event. It was an opportunity to connect, reflect, and create meaningful moments with your children. As you enjoy other faith-based movie time together, we invite you to be present, intentional, and open to what God may be doing in the hearts of your family!
Enjoy This Time
Taking time to simply enjoy being with your child is more important than it may seem.
In the middle of busy schedules and daily responsibilities, these moments allow you to slow down, be present, and truly connect.
When you set aside distractions and share in something meaningful together, you create space for laughter, conversation, and lasting memories.
These moments not only strengthen your relationship but also open the door for faith to grow naturally in everyday life.
Connect with your child
Small moments matter.
Sit close. Laugh together. Notice what your child notices.
Ask simple questions after the movie like:
“What was your favorite part?”
“How did that make you feel?”
“What would you have done?”
“What did you learn?”
“What stood out to you?”
“How can we live that out?”
Connection doesn’t have to be complicated. It just has to be intentional.
Grow in faith together
Walking with God happens daily, not just at events.
Use this experience as a starting point to:
Pray together
Talk about God in everyday moments
Encourage one another
Grow as a family
Attend church and engage in faith-based activities regularly
You don’t have to have all the answers. Just take the next step together whatever that may be for you!
Use Fun Items to Get Creative!
At the end of the event, each family received a gift bag with fun items to take home!
Learning Opportunities Exist in Everyday Items
Educational moments do not always have to happen behind a textbook, look for ways to teach your children through items already in your home.
Allow Them to Use Their Imagination
As your child plays or engages in creativity, encourage them to connect what they are doing with concepts that matter in the real-world.
Reflection Matters
As your child draws, molds, designs a bookmark, or blows bubbles in the air, take time to reflect with them! What is on their mind? How can you encourage them to think through designs?
Bubbles
Sketchpad
Sketch Bookmark
Pop-it Toys
Stickers

Ideas for Educational Uses of Items
While there are many ways you could use everyday items to connect with your children, below are some ideas for the ones that were included in the gift bags at our movie event! Add even more creativity, by connecting them to content from the movie!
Molding Clay
Let's build together! Perhaps you may want to build a replica of David and Goliath. Or, maybe you want to design a lion like the one David killed with his bare hands! Whatever is on your mind, design it and then reflect on what it means to you and your children.
Bubbles or Pop-it Toys
Life is filled with everyday stressors! David had lots of stress but he gave it to God! Take some time to blow bubbles or play with your pop-it toys while having a conversation. Then, pop one bubble at a time or one pop socket at a time. As you do, reflect on the ways that popping these reminds you of what happens when you give your daily troubles to God.
Bookmarks
Designing your own bookmark is fun! Be a part of this with your children. Consider a verse, perhaps a psalm, related to the movie and write it on one of your bookmarks. Wherever you may place your bookmark, let that Truth be a reminder of God's faithfulness in your life each day.
Sketchpads
Now, it's time to really get creative! There is so much to take from the movie and from everyday life experiences. Drawing is a great way to express what is being learned and perceived. Get inspired as you help your children draw and design on paper. What do their drawings show you about what is on their mind? Talk about it.
Stickers
Stickers may be small, but they can be very encouraging! In what ways do the short messages on a sticker encourage you to keep going each day? Talk about it with your children. How was David encouraged to keep going even when he was being chased by Saul?
Pens and Bracelets
These are fun, extra items that you can use in your everyday life! Sometimes we take for granted the small things that can be used to bring glory to God. What other items do you have at home that can build faith-based habits in the lives of you and your family?
The Family Unit
As you continue faith-based conversations at home, inviting all family members into these special moments can make them even more meaningful. Children benefit so much from hearing and seeing faith lived out from everyone around them, each bringing their own perspective, encouragement, and support. Whether it’s talking about the movie, asking simple questions, or sharing what stood out, these small, yet impactful moments together help build a stronger foundation of faith. When having faith-based discussions as a family, it doesn’t have to be anything formal—just honest, everyday conversations that grow over time.
This is where something meaningful begins. As your family grows together in faith, you’re creating moments that will echo far into the future of your children's lives.
Why Faith-Based Activities Matter
Engaging in faith-based activities helps strengthen the whole family by creating shared moments of connection, guiding values, and growing together in love, trust, and understanding of God.
They Plants Seeds in the Hearts of Your Family.
1 Corinthians 3:6-9 says: I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
They Open the Door for Conversations.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 says: These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
They Help Create a Foundation for Your Children.
Proverbs 22:6 says: Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
They are Fun! Sometimes, it is Nice to Take a break!
Ecclesiastes 8:15 says: “So I commend the enjoyment of life… for then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them.”
Psalm 118:24
“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
