These five books aren’t just about building better habits or learning to “be good.” They’re about forming character that lasts, and planting seeds of faith that grow long after the last page is turned. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to support your teen son’s spiritual walk, this list is for you.

In our house, with kids ranging from 9 to 15, life is full—messy, beautiful, and always moving. But over the years, I’ve discovered that it’s the small rhythms that create the biggest difference. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to overhaul everything, take a deep breath. You don’t need to change your whole life—just one small habit at a time. Here's what that looks like for us.

—board games, storytime, nature walks, and even sibling squabbles. You don’t need a big lesson plan or a perfect setup—just intention, presence, and a willingness to step into the moments that matter.

Let’s stop overcomplicating it—and start growing kindness right where we are.

This post isn’t a list of things to add to your plate — it’s a gentle reminder that small, life-giving rhythms can help you breathe easier, feel more present, and find joy in the middle of the mess.

You wake up late, skip your quiet time… You scroll social media for five minutes and spiral into comparison…
