Sobre Este Episodio

Parents today are often criticized for raising a generation of children who struggle to do things on their own, who return home from college incapable of earning a living or making decisions.

RECAP

When nurturing your child's spiritual growth, be mindful to not fall into a rigid trap where religion is shoved down their throats like a pill they need to swallow. Instead, live a life of faith and practice the spiritual disciplines. Your children will be attracted to come to the faith when they see you enjoying prayer and scripture meditation as part of your daily routine.

How did your parents pass down their faith to you?

THIS WEEK'S ACTION

  • Take the natural day-to-day occurrences as an opportunity to discuss spiritual matters and invite your kids to weekly or daily family devotional time where they can learn to appreciate what it means to be in a relationship with God.
  • Take out your calendar and find a time every week to have a family devotional. You can print the family based devotional on the Beatitudes created by the American Bible Society (available for free download under the tools link below).
