The Story Behind the WITH Kit: How God Transformed Our Home and Inspired This Resource

The Story Behind the WITH Kit: How God Led Us Here

When you hold a WITH Kit in your hands, you’re not just opening a box—you’re opening the fruit of years of prayer, trial, and transformation. This is not a product we created overnight. It is a testimony of God’s work in our family and a calling to help other families experience the same.

A Conviction That Changed Everything

It all began when we sensed God pressing on our hearts to disciple our children more intentionally. Martha felt it first, and then the Spirit moved in both of us. The Bible makes it clear: parents are called to teach their children God’s Word (Deuteronomy 6, Proverbs, Ephesians 6).

So we began. We started reading Scripture at the dinner table. We sang songs at bedtime. We prayed together. At first, it was messy. Sometimes the kids were distracted. Sometimes we felt tired. But slowly, we noticed something—peace, joy, and unity were growing in our home.

Mentors and Resources Along the Way

We are so thankful for people like Dr. Jonathan Williams of Gospel Family Ministries, who inspired and encouraged us. Martha, serving as a children’s minister, had access to many resources, and we tried them all. Some worked for a while; others didn’t fit our rhythm.

But one thing became clear: discipleship in the home is essential. Church plays a vital role, but it cannot replace parents leading worship in everyday life.

The Advent Box That Changed Everything

The turning point came at Christmas. Martha created a special Advent Box for families in our church. It included everything needed for devotionals, activities, candles, and even matches—no extra supplies required.

The response was overwhelming:

• Families who had never read the Bible together suddenly had meaningful worship moments.
  
  

• Parents told us, “It felt like the church came to us.”
  
  

• Boxes ran out quickly, and we kept making more.
  
  

God was showing us something important: families need tools that are simple, ready-to-use, and joy-filled.

The Aha Moment: Worship in the Home (WITH)

On a quiet car ride after Christmas, we both realized God had put the same vision in our hearts:

What if there was a subscription box that equipped families to worship at home, not just during Advent, but all year long?

That’s when the acronym clicked: WITH = Worship In The Home.

And so the WITH Kit was born.

From Idea to Launch

We spent months praying, planning, and creating. God provided an incredible team of designers, writers, and supporters who helped shape the WITH Kit. Each step of the way, He affirmed the vision.

Now, families everywhere can experience what we first discovered: the joy of being with God, with His Word, and with each other.

Why the WITH Kit Exists

The WITH Kit is more than crafts or devotionals. It’s a doorway into a new family culture, a culture where children begin to crave worship.

Parents are busy. Life is overwhelming. But discipleship at home doesn’t have to be another burden. The WITH Kit makes it simple, fun, and life-giving.
