What if worship isn’t just about singing in church, but about chasing God’s glory through everyday moments—like running, cooking, or simply watching the sunset?

Discover how ordinary rhythms can become opportunities to honor God, invite healing, and nurture deeper faith for the whole family.

Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young, mother of three, children’s author, Bible study teacher, and remarried widow, opens up about her family’s journey through grief and healing. Her story beautifully illustrated that worship isn’t confined to church pews or Sunday morning sing-alongs—it’s a treasure hunt for God’s glory in the everyday moments.

Here are 3 key takeaways for parents, educators, and anyone passionate about cultivating faith with kids:

1) Worship Isn’t Just Singing: Dorina encourages us to redefine worship as “chasing after God’s glory”—seeking and honoring God in all aspects of daily life, whether it’s through music, movement, creativity, or nature.

2) Healing Through Expression: She shared how singing and creative expression played a crucial role in her family’s healing after loss, showing the power of worship in both joy and grief.

3) Invite Kids on a “Glory Hunt”: Dorina’s tip for parents: help children connect with God using their five senses—seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling, and smelling God’s presence in everyday experiences.
