Family Worship Conference with Shai and Blair Linne

2 weeks ago

"Two weekends ago, Grace Fellowship had the privilege of hosting Shai and Blair Linne for the Family Worship Conference. It was a time of deep encouragement aimed at strengthening worship both in our individual homes and within our gathered church body. Through teaching, testimony, and creative communication, the Linnes called us to see family life as a primary context for discipleship—a place where the Word, prayer, and praise become the normal, everyday rhythms of life.For those who were unable to join us, we wanted to share a brief recap of the rich theology and practical hope discussed during our time together.________________________A Big View of God for the Next GenerationShai Linne drew from his experience as a pastor and artist to show how even the deepest truths of Scripture can be communicated simply and memorably to children and teens. His plea to parents and caregivers was clear: give the next generation a big view of God. By using Scripture, song, and honest conversations about sin and grace, we can help our children see the magnitude of His character.Hope in the Midst of BrokennessBlair Linne reminded us that God is not looking for "perfect" families to use. Sharing from her own story, she spoke to those from painful or complex backgrounds—divorce, father-absence, and past wounds. She pointed us to our deeper identity in Christ, reminding us that He meets us in our weakness. Family worship is not about showcasing a flawless home; it is about consistently turning a messy home toward a perfect Savior.Simple Rhythms for Every HouseholdThe Linnes emphasized that family worship doesn’t have to be long or complicated to be effective. It simply needs to be regular and rooted in the Bible. They encouraged simple practices:The Word: Reading a passage aloud and letting God’s Word set the tone for conversation.Prayer: Praying in concrete ways—confessing sin, thanking Him, and interceding for others.Song: Singing biblically rich songs and hymns to help children hide truth in their hearts.________________________Resources for Your HomeWe want to help you take the next step in establishing these rhythms. Below are several resources recommended by our team that align with the principles shared by the Linnes:For Every Chapter of Scripture: The Family Worship Bible Guide by Joel R. Beeke. This invaluable resource provides concise commentary and application questions for every single chapter of the Bible, making it an excellent companion for your daily readings.For a Practical Overview: Family Worship by Donald S. Whitney. This is the gold standard for a simple "read, pray, sing" approach that fits into any schedule.For Young Children: The Biggest Story Bible Storybook by Kevin DeYoung or The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones.In addition to these options, we invite you to check out our physical church library. We have many of these titles—and several other helpful resources—available for you to borrow as you seek to lead your family in the knowledge of Him.Our prayer is that the momentum from this weekend continues to stir a hunger in our homes to know Him more deeply. Whether you are starting for the first time or restarting for the tenth time, remember: Christ is enough, and His grace is sufficient for every home."
