The FAITH5 provides a simple structure around which to open communication channels and integrate faith practices such as bible reading, prayer and blessing in your household. We all lead busy lives, so don't worry if you don't complete all 5 steps every day of the week - this is something to aim for and build upon. Even if you simply do the Share step most nights, you will be strengthening your family ties.
The five steps of the FAITH5
Share highs and lows. Name something good and something bad that happened to you today or during the week. Can’t think of a personal one? Check out the headlines from the news and teach concern and compassion for the broader world.

Read a verse from your Bible. Taking Faith Home has daily verses families can explore.

Talk about how the verse relates to highs and lows. Unpack the verse a bit. What does it mean in your own words? How does it relate to your life today?

Pray for one another’s highs and lows, for your family and for the world. Simply talk to God, bringing your highs and lows and the concerns of others along. Praise God, thank Jesus, and ask the Holy Spirit for guidance.

Bless one another; we all belong to God. Trace the sign of the cross on one another’s forehead or palm as a reminder that you belong to God and to one another.
