A fresh approach to engaging with scripture

Rhiannon Goulding explains how she had to get creative with sharing God’s word with her children as they got older

Job said: “I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread” (Job 23:12) and Paul said: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

But it isn’t always easy to develop a ‘scripture habit’. 

This year, we are celebrating 60 years of Activate Your Life – a national charity that supports Christian women in sharing God’s love in everyday ways. As well as our regular ‘Away days’ for local churches, with speakers, worship and activities, we have an annual weekend conference where friendship evangelism shares the stage with personal discipleship (and lots of fun). For over half a century, women have been meeting together through Activate to pool ideas and encourage each other to demonstrate God’s love in their local community through real, one-to-one relationships.
