Day 1: Boldness in Faith Theme: Boldness in speaking God's truthScripture: 1 Kings 18:21 - "Elijah went before the people and said, 'How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.'" Activity: During dinner, discuss a time when each family member had to be brave. Ask the kids if they have ever had to stand up for what they believe in, like Elijah did. Discussion Questions:

Why do you think Elijah was so bold? How can we be bold in our faith like Elijah? What are some situations where you might need to be brave for God?

Parenting Tip: Encourage your kids by sharing a personal story of when you had to be bold in your faith. Let them know it's okay to feel scared, but God gives us strength.

Day 2: Trusting God's Power Theme: Trusting in God's power and provisionScripture: 1 Kings 17:6 - "The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook." Activity: While cleaning up after dinner, talk about how God provided for Elijah through the ravens. Ask your kids to think of ways God provides for your family every day. Discussion Questions:

How did God take care of Elijah? Can you think of a time when God took care of us? How can we trust God to take care of us in the future?

Parenting Tip: Reinforce the idea that God is always watching over us and providing for our needs, even in unexpected ways.

Day 3: The Importance of Prayer Theme: The power of prayerScripture: 1 Kings 18:36-37 - "At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: 'Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.'" Activity: Before bedtime, gather as a family and take turns praying for each other. Encourage the kids to pray for something specific. Discussion Questions:

What did Elijah pray for? Why is it important to pray? How can we make prayer a regular part of our day?

Parenting Tip: Model prayer by praying out loud with your kids. Show them that prayer is simply talking to God and that He listens to us.

Day 4: Choosing God Over Idols Theme: Choosing God over false idolsScripture: 1 Kings 18:39 - "When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, 'The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!'" Activity: During a car ride, discuss what idols are and how they can distract us from God. Ask your kids to think of things that might become "idols" in their lives. Discussion Questions:

What is an idol? What are some things that can become idols in our lives? How can we make sure God is the most important in our lives?

Parenting Tip: Help your kids identify "idols" by discussing things that might take too much of their time or attention away from God.

Day 5: Revival and Renewal Theme: Revival and returning to GodScripture: James 5:17-18 - "Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years." Activity: During breakfast, talk about what it means to have a "revival" in our hearts. Encourage your kids to think of ways they can grow closer to God. Discussion Questions:

What does it mean to have a revival in our hearts? How can we grow closer to God every day? What are some things we can do as a family to help each other grow in faith?

Parenting Tip: Encourage your kids to set small, achievable goals for their spiritual growth, like reading a Bible story each day or praying before meals. Celebrate their progress and growth in faith.
