Seeds Family Worship: The Music that Saved My Road Trip

Last month I embarked on a ten state road trip with my seven kids. Most of the trip I was the only adult in the car. icon smile Seeds Family Worship: The Music that Saved My Road Trip To say my children did well would be an understatement, they did awesome… except for the three hour span between Pensacola and Tallahassee, Florida. Cora decided at some point after Pensacola that she was finished with the road trip, the problem was our hotel was in Tallahassee. She proceeded to scream, and scream some more, and scream some more.

We tried everything, toys, dvd’s, funny faces, ignoring her, and nothing worked, until I slipped a Seed’s Family Worship CD into the car stereo. Within a few minutes she calmed down and fell asleep, until we reached Tallahassee. Now, as most moms know, if something is working – don’t change it! So we listened to this CD for about two hours. Now, at the end of the two hours we were all a little tired of the CD, but the cool thing about this music is that it is all Bible verses, set to music. The only words in each song are scripture, so while your kids sing along they are actually learning Bible verses.

By the time we reached Tallahassee I had learned several new verses and my kids did too. The nice thing about these CD’s that the music isn’t annoying. Adults do a lot of the singing, the music is upbeat, and the tunes are catchy. All of my children have ipods or radios in their rooms and I love that I can give them these CD’s and know that they are listening to good music with a great message.

I have always thought putting scripture to music was a great way to help your kids (and yourself) memorize Bible verses, and these CD’s are great for the whole family. I plan on incorporating them into our homeschool Bible lessons this year too.

You can listen to a few of the songs on their website.

The folks at Seeds Family Worship have given me a set of their CD’s to giveaway to one of my readers. This is such a great giveaway, I am really excited to be hosting it! To enter to win Seeds of Courage, Seeds of Faith, Seeds of Praise, and Seeds of Purpose leave a comment. Giveaway ends Monday, August 16th.

  6. LOVE listening to Christian music for the kids in the car. I catch them randomly singing and humming the songs around the house all the time. I’ve heard of these CDs, but don’t have any yet…

  7. Wendy says:

    Would love to win these for my boys! Thank you.

  8. abba12 says:

    My husband and I love the sounds of these CDs, but since we will have to import them as they dont seem to sell in australia, we have been waiting until we have the money to order a bunch of things from america and do it all at once. But if I could win them I’m sure we could manage the postage… lol.

  9. Jessica says:

    Our family is crazy about music and about Scripture! We would love to have the Seed’s CD’s! :)

  10. Dedra says:

    This would be a great addition to our homeschool. Would love to win them!

  11. Aimee says:

    Oooooh boy! I’ve wanted to get Seeds Worship for my family for a while, but our budget has been to tight. This is an awesome give-away! No wonder you’re happy to host it. :-)

  12. Sounds wonderful!!

  13. Terri L says:

    Oh My Gosh, these sound soooo cool! I would be so happy if I was to win these!

  14. Morgan says:

    Wow, you know that phenomenon that happens when you hear about something and then everywhere you turn you see it or hear about it over and over and you think, “How did I never notice that before?” Well- it’s happening to me right now! I just “volunteered” (more like said…”ok, ok,ok- I’ll do it!”) to teach the preschool class for my home-school group last night when meeting with my group director. She wants us to use these, this very set of cd’s for worship in my class! She has them for her family and really likes them, they listen to them every day. She also said the same thing about them not being annoying. I’d never heard about them before yesterday, and then this is the second time I’ve come across them today!

    Obviously, I’d LOVE to win :)

  15. Deidre says:

    Fantastic music! I’d love to have these to play in the car when running errands with the kids or on long trips.

  16. Allyson says:

    Sounds great! Setting scripture (or any facts for that matter) to music is a great way to learn and remember!

  17. Love it! I’m a music teacher who quit to have babies. Now I lead kids worship and teach music for our homeschool co op. I’ve somehow never heard of these, but after reading I’m so excited to check them out! For my students, but also for my own family!

  18. Mrs. J says:

    Ooh, with a new little one, that’d be great to have on hand! :D

  19. Sarah says:

  20. amanda p wu says:

    These cds have been on our wishlist for a long while now! :D

  21. Janay Oliver says:

    We’d love a set!!

  23. Elizabeth says:

    My family had Bible verse song tapes when I was a kid and I still find myself humming some of the songs if I’m trying to remember a verse! I’d love a chance to win these CDs.

  24. Amy says:

    I went to their website to listen…I’m always looking for a way to add in more Scripture memory, and songs seem to work so well! My older kids are just getting old enough to want to listen to their own music on iPods, etc., so this would be a great way to keep the right music playing. Thanks for hosting the giveaway and for sharing the link!

  25. Heather says:

    That sounds great. I have never heard of them. I am going to check it out.

  26. Andrea Cseh says:

    I just started working in a faith based school part-time as a school counselor & would love these cd’s to play in my office. My office opens to a high traffic zone (people traffic, not cars !) and I think having this playing would help to soothe everyone plus be beautiful! Thanks for offering these for a giveaway! :D

  27. Jenn Price says:

    We were loaned one cd from the collection a few years back and my girls listened to them every day, several times a day. But I never got around to buying any for them. So this would be awesome!!

  28. Anne says:

    Sounds great would love it.

  29. Jen U says:

  33. Anna B says:

    I would love to win these! How awesome that the Word of God settled your little one – next time I want to scream, I’ll have to grab the scripture and see if it works for grown-ups too! :-)

  34. Leslie says:

    We would love to have these in our car. The music selection we currently have is getting old & we need some new tunes.

  35. Kimarie says:

    Wonderful! We have a half hour drive when we go anywhere, so these would be nice. Thanks!

  36. Stephanie says:

    Thanks for sharing about this music!

  41. carol frank says:

    These will be perfect Christmas gifts for my grandchildren, They already sing christian songs but not scriptural ones. Neat idea!

  45. Martha says:

    I haven’t heard of Seeds Family Worship but I went to their site and listened… WOW!!! LOVE THEM!!! What a FANTASTIC way to hide God’s word in my and my family’s heart!!! Love to have any one of them.

  46. Amber says:

    I’ve never heard of these! I’m listening online now. I think I like it. :)

  47. Thats sounds so GREAT! Our kids like to pick their own familiar song and change the words to fit the verse. I posted about it here:
    http://joyandcontentment.wordpress.com/2010/06/04/teaching-faith-and-works/

    I’d LOVE to win a CD !! It sounds like a fantastic way to cover the miles (2000 kilometers in my case), on our October road trip from Nova Scotia to Ontario.

  48. Jeannine says:

    Would love to have these!

  49. Tracy says:

    Ok, I’m going to admit something that I should probably be embarassed about, but hey – I blog, so I already write embarassing stuff all the time!

    I have, on numerous occasions, found out while reading my Bible that “HEY – that’s a verse from that one song that I like!!!”

    Yeah, duh…I know AFTERWARDS that they got it from the Bible, but on most occasions, I hear the song before I have read the Bible verse, so…yeah. Color me embarassed.

    Anyway – we’d love to win the cd. I tend to wear a cd out I play it so much, so my husband would be THRILLED if I had something new to add to my current rotation of WOW cds! LOL

  78. nikki says:

    When I read the Bible and a verse reminds me of a song I know, I put a little musical note by the verse (I don’t know why). My 2 year old son was looking through my Bible yesterday and said “Mom, is this your music book?” (I’m also a piano teacher). It was a great opportunity to talk about Bible verses and music and wouldn’t these cd’s just bring it to home! thanks for the giveaway and for opening my eyes to this option!!!

  79. Amy says:

    We have a Seeds CD and love it! Would be great to get some more!
    Thanks for the chance!

  80. Gina says:

    Seeds are the best. Glad you discovered them! I’d love to win these :)

  81. Theresa says:

    I’d honestly never thought of using music to learn bible verses. My current standby is to have one I like taped up on my desk, but I can see how these would work much better and be a lot more fun. I would love to have these.

  82. ibeeeg says:

    I have heard of Seeds recently, checked it out, and really like the catchy tunes. I would love to have these in my home.

  83. I would love these CD’s! My husband just finished a challenge from his men’s bible study group to learn all the books of the bible….and he did it by learning it in a song :)

  84. Cindy Dukes says:

    We love Seeds Family Worship. My boys and I often listen online when we’re in the playroom. But I’d love a copy to take in the car. I like the music as much as the boys do.

  85. Jessica says:

    Hi! Thanks for this giveaway! We live in the Pensacola area, and I will be in JAX at the end of the month. We have made that trip from P’Cola to Tallahassee a few times and had a screaming baby also (1 yr. old). I wonder if these cd’s would help. They closed the base up in Brunswick, ME and moved the squadrons to JAX, so almost everyone I knew up there is now in JAX. But we got moved to Milton instead, which is about 25 miles north of P’cola. Anyway, take care and thanks again for this!

  86. BevRousch says:

    Sounds too fantastic! I would love to win this!! :)

  87. Jen says:

    This would be great to have in the car for my toddler.

  88. Heather Ketchmark says:

  94. Robyn says:

    This is the first I have heard of Seeds but went to their site and am quite impressed…my stepdaughter is a missionary in Ethiopia teaching children in a mission’s school…she also has a local ministry there for underprivileged girl’s in the community…I would love to send her a set of these CD’s to use in her ministry with these children!

  95. Abbie J says:

    We would love these! I’ve ordered one on Amazon, but apparently they don’t really haven’t because I”ve been waiting for it for a month!

    And there are some awesome activities I’ve seen on some blogs to go along with the songs

  96. Monica M. says:

    Thanks so much for offering…we would really enjoy these.

  97. Julie says:

    Wow…..I need these so bad! We are battling with the world for my son’s attention to music right now. He is a drummer, and is very musically talented. At 8 yrs old, he already shows such interest in music, however, is quickly influenced by some not-so worshipful music styles. Thanks for sharing about Seeds Family Worship. We will definately be checking out more of their CD’s!

  98. Corrie says:

    Oh Boy! Lately we’ve been loving Sovereign Grace’s I Want to be Like Jesus CD, but the Seed ones would be a lovely addition. Thanks for the chance to win!

  101. Jenn says:

    I have heard of these before, but never listened to them – I would love to win :) It would be fun to learn Scripture together, with music that’s not to “adult” for the kids, or too “kid” for the adults!

  102. Jennifer says:

    This sounds great!!! I would love to impliment this into our homeschooling as well (Music Appreciation along with their bible curriculum). :-)

  103. Krista says:

    I learned many bible verses to music when I was a kid. I still remember them. I love the idea of playing this for my daughter!

  104. Kathy says:

    These CD’s sound great, what a great way for all of us to learn verses together.

  110. I think that we would love these. We love songs that put Scripture to music. Thanks!

  111. Katie says:

    I would love, love, love to win! Especially if it would help my children and I to memorize scripture. I was taught a song based on the fruits of the spirits as a child, and I STILL think of it.

  112. Karen says:

    These sound wonderful!

  113. Lisa says:

    I would love to share these CD’s with my children.

  114. Toni, was wondering what some of your tricks were. Having two kids that travel well has never been a problem, seven is a different story. So you’ve leaked one trick – do you have others? (or, were you so covered in travel mercy prayers you were “lifted” most of the time?)
    I love Phil 4:6-7. it’s one of my life verses. this would be easier to use to memorize it vs. the pain-staking way I had to…
    My nephews would love this as my sister and fam are baby Christians just joining Charles Stanley’s church in atlanta and seeking soft inputs into their old ways…

  115. Brittany Snyder says:

    I’ve never heard of these CD’s before. I just listened on the website & I love it! I would love to win one!!

  116. Margaret Kyle says:

    I would love to try Seeds of Faith!

    Hope I win!

  118. Jennifer says:

    I would love to win these!!

  119. Sarah G says:

    Never heard of it…would love to listen!

  120. Amy says:

    Interesting post–I just got something like this from my local public library.

  121. jackie m says:

    Oh I would love to have this set. I have a mom that I care for who has altzheimers. She gets really restless at night and so far the only thing that calms her is praying with her or reading to her from the bible. I would love to be able to try this music and see if that helps her too.

  122. Linda B says:

    These sound wonderful!!!

  123. Kim says:

    I have never heard of these however it sounds like they would really be AWESOME!

  124. Sheri says:

I need all the help I can get in the car, someone is always crying or whining! I love the idea of planting seeds of scripture through song! My heart is fluttering, I hope I win!!! If not, I may have to buy them myself :)

  125. Becky says:

    Even toddlers memorize Scripture quickly, when it’s set to music!
    My 2-yr-old and 3-yr-old would love this CD set, and I would benefit from it too!

  126. Angi says:

    We would love to win, with 5 small boys anything louder than them is a blessing, especially scripture.

  130. L2L says:

    thanks for sharing this!!! We love our AWANA bible verse cds, unfortunately our TMO wont arrive till the end of the month!!! Our entertainment is very limited to my laptop and the cd we got from VBS lol. I think the kids would enjoy a new cd to listen to and I would love the fact that their hearts are being fed as well!!!!

  131. Nicole says:

    sounds great! thanks!

  132. Chrissy says:

    Love learning the scriptures through songs !! Music is my passion when it comes to worshiping the Lord :-) I would love to be entered into this contest so I can share it with the family !

    I love to spend time in worship with my kiddos! It would be a blessing to win a Seeds CD. We still listen to Salty the Singing Song Book (from the 80′s!!!)

  137. Rebecca says:

    Wow I would love to have these! I really like Bible verses set to music. So much easier for me and my kids to learn. And I would much rather have those songs stuck in my head than some of the other kids’ ditties.

  138. April says:

    All four of my children have hated car rides as infants. We have a 10 hour trip to see family in Mississippi. I would love to try these cds with my newest (4 month old) car ride hating little one. My older 3 along with my husband and I could plant God’s word in our hearts along the way.

  139. Dawn Avant says:

    I’d love to have these CDs to listen to with my kids.

  140. Tiffany says:

  157. Heather says:

    How wonderful! Kids learn so much through music without even knowing that they are learning.

  158. Tonya says:

    Bible verses set to music is by far, the easiest way to teach scripture to children AND adults. We used to listen to the Hide ‘Em In Your Heart and the Wee Sing Bible Song CDs. I still remember the books of the Bible that way. :)

  159. Jenn says:

    Great idea!!!! (:

  160. Amanda says:
