Take a moment to read a few testimonies below of those who have participated in the study.

Cole & Lane (Shema Parenting Participant)

The Shema Bible Study began at a perfect time in our lives, as we were raising three young boys. It showed us the importance of not only our children watching us worship God but also making them a part of it. The study helped set the stage for their spiritual lives as well as ours.

Travis & Sarah (Shema Parenting Participants)

We were taught to adjust our hearts to help our children adjust their hearts. Throughout the sessions, we learned to listen, believe, and love God. We learned to be teachers in our daily interactions with our children by being intentional in our conversations to improve their relationship with God and in turn would improve our relationship with them.

Dennis & Kim (Shema Parenting participants)

The small group Shema class gave us a better view on how to praise God. Also, to give Him the glory of seeing our children grow into God-fearing adults and to see them now teaching their children the same.
