So, What Is D6? Most parents want to be involved in the spiritual development of their kids’ lives. They just don’t know where to begin. Parents are involved in sports, homework and hygiene, but many parents find it challenging to connect with their children when it comes to their faith.

Unfortunately, many people rely on the pastor, Sunday school teacher, or youth pastor to be the primary spiritual influence for our kids. The problem is we only spend, at most, four hours a week at church. What about the other 164 hours?

D6 tells us this is the primary job and responsibility for dads and moms.

D6 stands for Deuteronomy 6:5-7 which commands dads and moms to take everyday opportunities to impress God’s Word upon the hearts of their children. D6 is foundational to raising spiritual champions for Christ.

Moses was very specific in this passage that showing our love for the Lord is not enough. We must be active in passing our faith along to our kids. It’s clear from D6 that while church is a vital part of this development, it cannot stop there. It must continue in the home. It’s imperative that you look for teachable moments with your children in all of life—in the mornings, when you are running errands, at mealtimes, and at bedtime. It’s a tough job, but we have the resources to help you accomplish your goals.

“Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Deuteronomy 6: 5-7
