Straight Path

No child left unprotected.

Twelve pitfalls the enemy sets for children, and the straight path around each one. Built on Deuteronomy 6: the same twelve names at home, in their songs, on the walls and on their wrist.

Built on Deuteronomy 6

God’s words, in every place they live

Moses told parents where God’s words belong: in the house, on their lips morning and night, on the walls and doorposts, on the hand. Straight Path puts something in each place, all saying the same twelve paths.

“Talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. Bind them for a sign on your hand… and write them on the posts of your house, and on your gates.”Deuteronomy 6:7–9

Home
When you sit in your house

Bedtime stories and a card on the dinner table, so the paths become ordinary family words.

Songs
When you lie down, and when you rise up

One song for each path, telling its story, so it stays in their mouths.

3
Walls
Write them on the posts of your house

A large poster where they pass it every day: a bedroom door, a hallway, a classroom.

4
Wearables
Bind them for a sign on your hand

A path on the outside, its verse on the inside, where only they read it. Worn to school and the ball field.

Mentor

And the same family. Sam and his little sister Ruby face the same pits your children do. They are eight and six in the bedtime stories, and eleven and nine in Twelve Choices. Your children grow up with them, so each new book feels like seeing old friends again.

The Layered Protection System™

Six layers guard them. The seventh sends them out.

Pick the path your family is on this week. Every layer says the same thing, so it sticks.

Who built Straight Path

Straight Path (and the Anvoy.com platform) is a labor of love and prayer by Bob Huber of Francesville, Indiana, and many others who have contributed over the years. God gave the vision in 2007 by leading Bob and his wife Joy to found Casa Timoteo (Timothy House), a Christian home for orphaned and at-risk children in Imuris, Sonora, in northern Mexico. It has held as many as 36 children at a time, and hundreds have passed through its doors.

That is where the Hubers learned what discipleship takes: years of walking beside a child, with an open Bible, through ordinary days. Straight Path is built on the same conviction, for any parent, grandparent or teacher.

Part of Foundational Values

One framework. This is one of its tools.

Straight Path teaches twelve of the 100+ statements in Anvoy’s Foundational Values, in Character, Glory, Family, Work and Life. Every walk names the statement it is about, and what the student answers lands in their own My Beliefs.

Life's Big Questions teaches twelve more, in Life, Creator, Truth, Justice, Faith and Glory.
