These Are the Days

New York Times bestselling authors and hosts of the These Are the Days podcast, Jeremy and Audrey Roloff offer a practical, grace-filled roadmap for parents who want to build an intentional family culture centered on biblical values—without the overwhelm.

Most parents long to raise children who carry their family’s values—but the relentless pace of life keeps them reacting instead of leading. Between calendar creep, digital distractions, and the pressure to do it all, even faithful intentions get scattered. What families need isn’t another checklist. They need a simple, sustainable way to tangibly live their values.

These Are the Days offers a practical, month-by-month framework that aligns twelve biblical values with the rhythms families already live—one value per month, built around the seasons of the year. The result isn’t more guilt. It’s more meaning.
Inside, families will find:

• A biblical foundation for clarifying what their family most deeply values—and a process for shaping those values into a simple, lasting family mission statement
• A practical, month-by-month rhythm for weaving those values into the everyday moments of family life—dinner table conversations, weekly rituals, and seasonal traditions that stick
• Twelve field-tested values—one per month, anchored to the natural calendar—with personal stories, Scripture, and ready-to-use ideas for families in any season of life
