The Night Before
A Christian Ministry Equipping Parents to Disciple Their Children
Who We Are
My name is Keirstin! I am a wife to Joe, mom to Hannah and Philip, and equipper to parents near and far. I am passionate about encouraging and equipping parents in their role as primary faith trainers of their children. I enjoy helping parents feel confident in intentionally guiding their children in the way of the Lord.
I graduated from Liberty University with my Bachelor’s in Religion and from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary with my Master’s in Divinity with a Concentration in Children’s Ministry. I served on church staff in DFW for eleven years as a Minister to Families & Children.
The Night Before Ministry was created on the foundation that Sunday morning is a Saturday night decision. The Night Before exists to equip parents with simple, intentional rhythms for family discipleship, because raising Jesus-loving children doesn’t happen by accident.
Discipleship in the home requires purpose.
Featured Products
The Night Before offers apparel as a fun reminder that discipleship starts with the heart in your home, checklists that empower your children to take part in preparing for worship and bookmarks to keep everyone engaged in worship.
The goal of every TNB product is to encourage parents in their role as primary faith trainer of their children.
The TNB Worship Journal is a printable Christian journal designed to help children actively engage with worship before, during, and after church.
Worship doesn't start when we walk through the church doors. It starts with how we prepare the night before. This journal gives children a simple, intentional way to prepare their hearts, participate in worship, take meaningful notes, and respond to what they hear.
Your digital journal includes four weeks of pages on
- Prepare for Worship | to prepare your heart, body, and worship bag
- Worship Notes | to help with listening and writing during church
- Worship Activity Page | for kids to enjoy doodling while listening
- Worship Response | to reflect personally and as a family on what was heard
The journal encourages children to listen for who God is, what God has done, and what they should do in response.
💛 A JOURNAL THAT GOES BEYOND SUNDAY
The goal isn't simply to keep your child busy during church.
It's to help them:
PREPARE → PAY ATTENTION → RESPOND → LIVE IT OUT
After church, children are encouraged to think about what they heard, consider what God is asking them to do, identify someone they can encourage, and choose a family action for the week.
Throughout the week, families can return to the journal, pray over what they wrote, and look for opportunities to serve, encourage, worship, forgive, and obey.
