Newer isn\u2019t always better. I\u2019ve come to appreciate a more traditional approach to worship for many reasons, but I also love using some of the more traditional methods to disciple my kids that lend themselves to the simple, unhurried lifestyle.\nResources mentioned in this episode:\xa0\nThe Unhurried Homeschooler\nThe Four Hour School Day\nHuggy Hymns\nCatechism for Young Children\nhttp://sovgraceto.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Catechism-for-Young-Children.pdf\nChildren\u2019s Scripture Catechism\nhttps://shearerpca.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Childrens-Scripture-Catechism.pdf\nA short history of the catechisms and the New City catechism app\nhttps://servantsofgrace.org/short-history-catechisms-review-new-city-catechism/\nThen Sings My Soul by Robert Morgan\nOne of our elders shares our reasoning behind the way we choose to worship at our little church in the barn:\n\u201cOne of the reasons that we do music the way that we do at Christ Church (stripped down and understated) is because we want to ditch the spectator mentality that encourages everyone to listen to what is coming through the speakers without contributing to it.\xa0\nWe want our voices and the voices of our children to fill the barn as an outpouring of praise that our God both richly deserves and requires. We can\u2019t do that if we don\u2019t know the songs! So one of our members created a playlist on Spotify that includes the songs we usually sing. Put it on in the car, play it while you\u2019re fixing dinner, let your kids dance to it, and make up moves to match the words (mine do this constantly!)- get those melody lines and lyrics in the heads and hearts of your family so that when we come together on Sundays WE are singing to Lord, not listening to someone else do it.\u201d\nOur church playlist (including many traditional hymns):\xa0\nhttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/0XPJcXLF0yndvISYL8FhP6?si=2gOIWFCuRP6O2WRh5w3DBA\nRelated podcast episodes\nThe Importance of Discipleship https://www.durendawilson.com/podcast/episode/d4c4c2ed/the-importance-of-discipleship-with-karen-debeus-podcast-80\nBible and Apologetics: Where Do We Start?\nhttps://www.durendawilson.com/podcast/episode/be116b53/bible-and-apologetics-where-do-we-start-podcast-226\n(Please check out my latest book, The Four Hour School Day: How You and Your Kids Can Thrive in the Homeschool Life on Amazon,\xa0durendawilson.com, or your favorite bookseller!)
