Send your child to school already covered
Morning & Amen is a daily before-school devotional for Christian parents and kids ages 7–12 — scripture, prayer, an action step, and a fun quiz in just a few minutes — so your child walks out the door rooted, ready, and held by God all day long.
A few minutes of scripture and prayer before the school bell rings can carry your child further than you know — and I'm going to show you exactly how to make it happen.

Laurice Coates-Dessous
Hey there — I'm so glad you found your way here.
Can I be honest with you for a second? I know what it's like to want to raise your child in faith and still feel like you're winging it every single morning. You love God. You love your kid. But somewhere between the alarm clock, the missing shoe, and getting out the door on time, the idea of a meaningful devotional time starts to feel like one more thing you're failing at. I've been there. A lot of us have.
That's exactly why I built Morning & Amen — not for the parent who has it all figured out, but for the one who just wants to start. Simple. Real. Doable on a Tuesday.
Here's what I know for certain: your child is walking into a big, loud, complicated world every single school day. They're navigating friendships that can flip in an instant, tests that feel impossible, pressure to fit in, long rides home with a lot of time to think. And the most powerful thing you can give them before any of that happens isn't a pep talk — it's a few minutes grounded in scripture, covered in prayer, and equipped with one small, God-centered action they can carry all day long. That's it. That's Morning & Amen.
This course teaches you every single piece of that routine, step by step. How to read a Bible verse together so it actually lands for a 9-year-old. How to pray out loud as a family — even your very first time — using a simple formula that takes the guesswork out of it. How to turn that morning moment into an action step your child whispers to themselves on the bus. And how to make the whole thing so fun, with quizzes and games and a Parent vs. Kid Lightning Round, that your kids start asking for devotional time. (Yes, really.)
The best part? You grow right alongside them. This isn't a course where parents stand on the sidelines. You're in it together — and that shared experience, that few minutes of scripture and prayer before the school day swallows everyone up, is the kind of thing kids remember for a lifetime.
I want that for your family. Come on in — Morning & Amen is ready when you are.
