The 78th Psalm says that we should not hide the glorious deeds of God
from our children, but tell the coming generation of His might, and the
wonders that He has done (Psalm 78:2-4). The Psalmist knows the
power of formational storytelling in the heart of the home. Family
discipleship starts with great stories about a wondrous God. Indeed,
young imaginations are meant to be formed by stories of brave giant-
slayers, bold truth-speakers, and benevolent caretakers.
