24. Raising Children in the Faith- Part 2

We are continuing on in our conversation of raising children in the faith. In this episode we dive into some of the more difficult aspects that we can face in handing on our beliefs to our children. Many of these difficulties are often rooted in the thought that we are not good enough for this task. Once we see this lie for what it is we can have faith in the truth that God has chosen YOU for this mission. No one else is better equipped to raise your children then you. In our conversation we remind ourselves that God will provide all that we need in bringing our children closer to God through our words and examples. 

We  also look at some of the fears we face as parents: What if my child asks me a question I can not answer? What if I'm pushing my faith on them and it turns them away? What if I'm not a good enough example of living out the faith? What if... What if...This can become crippling and spiral us to then let fear hold us back from doing what God has called us to, to be the most important people in educating our children in the faith and to bring them to His merciful heart.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he's old he will not depart from it."
Proverbs 22:6
