I know many of you are working on building a daily routine this week. Below you will find a sample routine by the hour for teenagers during summer break. If you watched my video on Instagram yesterday you already know -- idle time is not on the schedule. Even in the summer. Especially in the summer. Because idle time is the devil's playground and we are not renting him space in our homes. 😂 And before any teenager reading this over their parent's shoulder says "but it's summer" Summer is not a sabbatical from life. It is a training ground for adulthood. And we are using every day of it. This is just an example. Adjust the times to fit your household. But keep the structure. Structure is the gift. OTHER AGE GROUPS ARE POSTED MORNING 8:00 AM -- Wake up Yes 8:00. Not noon. Not 1pm. Not "whenever they feel like it." Sleeping until noon every day trains a teenager to be unproductive. And an unproductive teenager is a bored teenager. And a bored teenager with a phone and too much time is a whole situation we are trying to avoid. 8:00 AM is grace. Be grateful. 😂 8:15 AM -- Full morning hygiene Shower or save it for the evening. But at minimum: wash face, brush teeth, get dressed in real clothes. Real clothes. Not pajamas all day. Getting dressed signals to the brain that the day has started and there is something to show up for. 8:30 AM -- Breakfast They make it themselves at this age. Fully. Clean up behind themselves. Fully. 9:00 AM -- Morning devotional or time with God This is non negotiable in a Kingdom home. It does not have to be long. Fifteen to twenty minutes. A scripture. A journal entry. A prayer. The YouVersion Bible app has plans specifically for teens. The goal is that they are building a personal relationship with God that does not depend on mom or dad dragging them to it. This is the season where faith becomes their own or it does not. Help them choose it daily. 9:30 AM -- Personal development hour This is the hour that separates teenagers who are ready for adulthood from teenagers who are not.

Can I take you back to David for a second? Samuel anointed him king while he was still a shepherd boy. Oil on his head. Word of the Lord spoken over his life. The calling was real. The anointing was real. And then he went back to his sheep. Not to the palace. Not to the throne. Back to the field. Back to the same flock. Back to the same daily responsibility that nobody was watching and nobody was clapping for. And while he was out there, unseen, unrecognized, not yet promoted he kept practicing. He kept playing his harp.He kept protecting his sheep.He kept developing the skill, the courage, and the faith that would eventually be required of a king. So by the time Goliath showed up David didn't have to find his gift under pressure. He already knew what was in his hands. By the time he stepped into the palace he didn't have to figure out who he was. He already knew whose he was. The anointing came years before the assignment was activated. And that gap that in-between season was not wasted time. It was preparation time. Just because you are called does not mean it is your time. And just because it is not your time does not mean you stop preparing. Because here is what I know about the way God works He does not promote the unprepared. He does not hand a platform to someone who hasn't practiced in private. He does not give you the audience before He has tested what you will say when you get there. The calling is real. The anointing is real. But the preparation is mandatory. So what does that mean for you right now? It means the season you are in the quiet one, the unsexy one, the one where nobody is watching and nothing looks like it's happening that season is not your delay. That season IS your training. Perfect the skill.Perfect the obedience.Perfect the consistency. Show up every day like the assignment is already yours...... because in the spirit it already is. David didn't become king and then discover his gift. He discovered his gift in the field. He perfected it in the silence. He carried it into the palace when God said it was time.

You already know something is off. You can't always explain it. But you feel it. Your child was fine and then something shifted. The attitude came out of nowhere.The fear showed up and won't leave.The anger is too big for what happened.The sadness sits too heavy for their age.The manipulation is too calculated for a child.The distraction is constant like something is pulling them away from everything good. And you've tried everything. Consequences. Conversations. Therapy. Prayer. Taking things away. Giving grace. Being firm. Being soft. And still something is in that room with your child that you cannot see but you absolutely can feel. I need to talk to somebody today who knows exactly what I am describing. Your child is not just going through a phase.Your child is not just being a kid.Your child is not just hormonal or tired or stressed. Some of what you are seeing is spiritual. And you have been trying to solve a spiritual problem with only natural tools. This is not about fear. This is not about running around rebuking everything. This is about a parent who understands their authority. God did not place that child in your home by accident. He placed YOU over them on purpose. With authority. With access. With the ability through prayer, through scripture, through the Holy Spirit to shift the atmosphere of your home. But first you have to learn how to discern what you are actually dealing with. Is it a spirit of fear that has attached itself to your child and won't let go? Is it rejection — the wound that makes them push away every person who tries to get close? Is it manipulation — the pattern that is too strategic, too calculating, too persistent to be just behavior? Is it distraction — the constant pull away from anything that could anchor them to God? Is it something that came in through what they watched, who they were around, what happened to them? You need to be able to name it before you can pray against it. And you need to know how to take your authority back not in fear, not in chaos but with the calm, Kingdom confidence of a parent who knows who they are in God.

Father, Today I come against the lie that I am not enough. Not a good enough parent. Not a patient enough parent. Not a present enough parent. Not a strong enough parent. Lord, I confess that sometimes I measure myself by my mistakes. I replay the moments I lost my temper. The moments I missed it. The moments I should have listened more. The moments I should have corrected differently. And if I'm not careful, I start believing those moments define me. But today I reject that lie. I am not a perfect parent. But I am a parent who loves my children. I am a parent who is trying. I am a parent who keeps showing up. And Father, my qualification does not come from perfection. It comes from You. You entrusted these children to me. Knowing my weaknesses. Knowing my flaws. Knowing every area where I would need Your help. And You still chose me. So forgive me for questioning what You already decided. Forgive me for believing I have to be perfect to be effective. Forgive me for carrying guilt You never asked me to carry. Today I release the pressure. The pressure to have all the answers. The pressure to never make mistakes. The pressure to get everything right. Father, heal the places where comparison has stolen my confidence. Heal the places where shame has stolen my joy. Heal the places where fear has convinced me that I'm ruining my children. Because I am not raising them alone. You are helping me. You are guiding me. You are covering what I miss. You are redeeming what I get wrong. And You are working in my children even when I cannot see it. Lord, teach me to focus on progress instead of perfection. Help me celebrate growth instead of obsessing over mistakes. Help me parent from confidence instead of fear. I declare: I am not failing. I am learning. I am growing. I am being equipped. I am being refined. I am becoming the parent my children need. And where I am weak, God's grace is sufficient. My children do not need a perfect parent. They need a present parent. A praying parent.

Let me tell you what's actually happening over here. Because I need you to understand what you're watching being built. This is not a cartoon. This is not cute little animations with a Bible verse slapped on the end. This is not another Christian kids channel doing the same thing everybody else is doing. This is a CALLING. I am a mom who got real with God about who I was before Him — and who I became after. I started showing up on this page raw, honest, and unfiltered because somebody had to say what the polished pages wouldn't. And then God said now do it for the children. So I built Kingdom University. I wrote the books. I created the curriculum. I developed the music. I built the coaching. I showed up every single day — for YOUR family because I believe the next generation is worth every ounce of this. And now on July 1st I'm bringing it all to YouTube. LIVE. Every week. FREE. Not because it's a trend. Not because somebody told me to. But because your child deserves to know the Word in a way that actually sticks. That moves. That transforms. That goes HOME with them. Songs they'll sing in the car. Scriptures that become armor. Affirmations that rewire how they see themselves. Object lessons that make the Bible feel like it was written for THEM. Taught by me. Every week. For free. I have poured everything into this. My story. My healing. My faith. My failures. All of it became fuel for what I'm building for your family. You've been watching me show up. Now I need you to show up with me. Subscribe to our YouTube channel and hit that bell 🔔 — July 1st is 10 days away and I need your child in that room. 🎥 https://youtube.com/@kingdomuniversityllc This is Kingdom University. And we are just getting started. 👑
