Family Devotional ReadingEphesians 4:25 calls us to “put off falsehood and speak truthfully,” because we belong to one another as parts of one body. God never intended His people to live behind masks. In a world that rewards image-management and pretending everything is fine, Jesus invites His church into honest, life-giving relationships.Being part of God’s family means we don’t walk alone. When we speak truth with love—about our joys and our struggles—we build trust and make room for real healing and growth. Authenticity doesn’t weaken the church; it strengthens it. As we learn to lower our walls and care for one another, we experience more of Christ’s presence together.Family Conversation StartersYoung Children (Preschool–Early Elementary)Is it okay to tell the truth even when it’s hard?
