The Oates family worships together, makes it a point to eat together, and they spend quality time together. Prayer is also important to the Ahart family of Fort Worth. But along with that, Rodney Ahart, a father of five, also believes being a role model is key to his childrens' spiritual development. University Christian Church in Fort Worth tries to bring lessons in spirituality to life. The church uses colorfully-decorated rooms where children learn about kindness and giving by acting out lessons and interacting with each other.
