Getting Started: Orientation and Overview
Pray
Read “The Need for Prayer” in the Aslan Academy resources.
Start praying regularly for your family and your children.
Explain to your children that you will be praying for them each day and commit to praying with each child in the morning or evening of each day, in addition to regular mealtimes. Pray out loud for God’s guidance and a willing spirit in your child as you begin this program.
Read & Study
Read the introduction to the Aslan Academy and the section on “How to Use This Handbook.”
Read the overview articles that describe the first few sections of the Aslan Academy curriculum:
a. “The Aslan Academy: Intentional Parenting to Disciple Our Children”
b. “Reviewing the Fundamentals”
c. “Heart Change”
d. “The Importance of Scripture”
Work through the Bible Studies for the following sections
a. “God’s Plan for Parents”
b. “Understanding Heart Change”
c. “The Importance of Scripture”
Apply
Write down key lessons or questions from the articles and Bible studies. Make a list of the steps you are going to take to begin implementing what you’ve learned.
As described in the “The Need for Prayer,” start recruiting a prayer team.
Communicate regularly with your prayer team and share insights gained as you go through this program.
Family Activities
Continue daily Bible study or readings from an age-appropriate Bible.
Plan a special outing with each child to lovingly talk about the positive aspects of what you’ve observed about that child’s personality and character. Praise him or her and celebrate how God has made him or her unique. Reinforce God’s love for the child and how He wants to know him or her. Read relevant sections of the Bible to highlight how God wants to shape us to become the person He wants us to be.
Begin family readings, starting with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Use the guide Aslan in Our World: A Companion to the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to ask key questions throughout. Look for ways to encourage your children to think and to envision themselves in similar situations.
