MasterClass: Helping Parents Maximize Their Faith Influence With Their Kids
$ 79.99
According to multiple sociological studies, the most important factor in passing on faith to the next generation is surprisingly not a family’s regular worship attendance, their church’s programming, or even the parents’ own religious practices. The simple fact of parents talking with children about questions of faith—in ordinary ways throughout the week—has a bigger influence on young people’s future faith lives than any other factor. How can church leaders help parents to start and deepen conversations with kids about faith, God, and religion? What simple practices can families bring into their everyday lives to grow in faith together? We’ll explore practical, pastoral strategies for helping parents deepen their own awareness of God’s presence within family life to encourage these small yet transformative conversations with children and teens about what matters most.
