What Are Your Family Values? [Downloadable Values List Included]

November 22, 2016 By Joshua Straub Leave a Comment

Does your family use a values list to make decisions? After losing my Dad earlier this month to congestive heart failure, I’m realizing even more how significant our moments are. However, my tendency is to get so caught up in the day-to-day stress and busyness of life that I find it so easy to live counter to the values I hold dear.

In this week’s video we talked about the family values list we created to:

  1. Filter major decisions through
  2. Guide our day-to-day life and interactions
  3. Instill in our kids
  4. Guide our discipline

We put together a list of the 100 Most Commonly Held Values.

Here are a few highlights from the video:

  • Connecting values to our discipline helps us focus on developing long-term character in our kids, not just short-term behavior.
  • Download the values list and narrow your values to your top 5 family values. List them in order of importance.
  • If you’re married, do it separately from your spouse first and then come together to see how your list of values align. Work together to develop your family’s list.
  • Connect Scripture references to each of your values. Post it on your refrigerator.
  • Remember, the most important way to instill these values in our children is to model them ourselves.

So many of us live such busy lives that we sit in So many of us live such busy lives that we sit in our bed at the end of day failing to reflect on what went right. Instead, we silently beat ourselves up. 
We feel ashamed for speaking to our spouse the way we did. 
We feel scared about a health issue we can’t figure out. 
We feel lonely in our work.
We feel inadequate for not being able to fix the faucet. 
We feel exasperated by our kids.
We feel sad the day didn’t go as planned. 
Then, we fall asleep. 
No wonder we wake up uninspired. We meditate on what’s not working.
Death by a thousand cuts. 
Somewhere along the way, just like the Israelites, we forget. We forget to heed the age-old wisdom of meditating on the Word both day and night, so that we may be careful to do everything written in it, and be prosperous (Joshua 1:8).
When we don’t reflect on our day through God’s eyes, we wake up the next morning trying to keep going on our own will. 
Reflection awakens the soul. Instead of stuffing the ugly, meditating on the bad, and ignoring the good, surrender all of it to God and filter daily circumstances through what His Word says. When you do this you notice the moments that move your soul—the courageous yeses to what connect, inspire, and resurrect the world around us. Life by a thousand brave yeses.

Ever had your kids ask you a question you never th Ever had your kids ask you a question you never thought of before and were left speechless in how to answer? What makes those questions even more intimidating is when they’re questions about the Bible. It’s no wonder discipling our kids can feel overwhelming. But what if you don’t need to know all of the answers? 
In this week’s episode, @joshua.straub and @christistraub talk about the ways we can resource our kids in not only looking for answers to their questions, but also falling more in love with Jesus. They also talk about how their new devotional, 10 Days of the Easter Story: A Family Experience Through the Feelings of Holy Week, is structured and written as a framework for getting our kids engaged in the stories of Scripture.

The week of Jesus’ death was filled with emotion. Each day is a retelling of the biblical story, a prayer, family-time questions, and an exploration of that day’s emotion.
