The Be Still Kit

Help Your Family Slow Down, Be Present, and Make Room for What Matters Most

Life is noisy.

Phones are buzzing. Screens are everywhere. Schedules are packed. Kids are constantly being entertained, distracted, and pulled toward whatever is next.

And during Christmas?

It can get even louder.

More presents. More shopping. More activities. More pressure. More of everything.

The Be Still Kit was created to help families do something surprisingly difficult in today's world:

Stop. Slow down. Listen to God. Be present. 

Inspired by Psalm 46:10:

“Be still, and know that I am God.”

The Be Still Kit gives your family simple activities you can actually do together to practice stillness, attention, gratitude, observation, meaningful conversation, faith, and being present in the moment.

Emergency Relief for a Noisy World

When we think of a first aid kit, we normally think about bandages, medicine, and supplies for physical emergencies.

But families sometimes need a different kind of first aid too.

They need time to reconnect.

Time away from screens.

Time to notice the world around them.

Time to talk.

Time to pray.

And time to be still.

That's the idea behind the Be Still Kit.

Make Note: You do not receive the plastic first-aid case shown in picture.

Instead, your kit includes a Be Still Kit paper design that your family can cut out and attach to a first-aid box if you wish. 

Want to make your own official-looking Be Still Kit? Go for it.

Want to skip the box completely and simply enjoy the activities? That works too.

12 Family Activities Designed to Help You Slow Down

Your Be Still Kit includes 12 Family Activity Cards, each giving your family a simple challenge or experience in one sitting or you can do one activity a month all year round to practice stillness. 

These aren't activities designed to keep kids constantly entertained.

They're designed to do almost the opposite.

The activities encourage families to practice:

Exercising gratitude

Appreciating mother nature

Take time to listen to God

Taking the Time to Repent

Talking together about the things that matter most. 

Spending time outside.

Connecting with God and one another.

Some activity cards also include cut-out activity sheets and materials that go along with the challenge, turning each card into a small family experience rather than something kids simply read and forget.

Don't Just Tell Kids to Put the Phone Down—Give Them Something Better to Do

It's easy to tell a child:

“Get off your phone.”

But what happens next?

The Be Still Kit gives families something intentional to replace the distraction with.

Instead of simply removing screens, you're creating opportunities for your child to discover how to find stillness in a busy world. 

A walk can become an adventure.

Listening can become a challenge.

Nature can become something worth noticing.

A conversation can become a memory.

And a few quiet minutes can sometimes become one of the most meaningful parts of the day.

Includes a Be Still Journal

The experience doesn't stop when an activity is finished.

Your kit also includes a Be Still Journal and pencil so kids can write, draw, reflect, and record what they noticed during their adventures.

What did you hear?

What did you see?

What are you thankful for?

What did you learn?

What did you notice when everything got quiet?

The goal isn't perfect handwriting or another school assignment.

The goal is helping children to learn and appreciate how beautiful life is when they can find stillness, rather than rushing to the next thing. 

A Christmas Ornament With a Message Worth Remembering

The Be Still Kit also includes a “Be still, and know that I am God” Christmas ornament inspired by Psalm 46:10.

Hang it on the Christmas tree as a reminder during one of the busiest times of the year:

Christmas doesn't have to be nonstop noise.

While the world is telling families to buy more, do more, hurry more, and keep up with everything happening around them, Scripture gives us a very different message:

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

And Hebrews 11:6 reminds us:

“But without faith it is impossible to please him...”

Sometimes creating more room for faith begins by creating a little less room for distraction.

Especially Meaningful at Christmas—Useful All Year Long

We especially love giving families the Be Still Kit around Christmas, because December can become one of the busiest and most distracting months of the year.
