Morning Baskets and You! with Kristy Smith and Katelyn Morris

Start off your day with a time of intentional discipleship with your family using Morning Baskets! Morning Baskets are curated groups of materials--books, coloring pages, Bible studies, music--that you can use to guide you in talking with your family about theology, world-view, and relationships. They can be used anytime of the day, but are called morning baskets because usually homeschooling families start their day with them. This time with Morning Baskets can be as long or short as it fits with the schedule of the day! Kristy Smith and Katelyn Morris talk about the importance of biblical discipleship, setting intentional relational family time, and how they have utilized Morning Baskets in their family and homeschool!
