What Is 52 Traits?

Over the course of a year, you’ll explore 52 essential traits—like faithfulness, compassion, self-control, humility, and courage—each inspired by a person in the Bible and brought to life with practical tools for your family.

Each weekly trait includes:

A key Bible verse and thoughtful definition
Spiritual, emotional, and relational insights
Activity ideas tailored by age (3–24)
