          Fostering Faith in the Next Generation

          2023/07/28/in WM News

          Proverbs 22:6—Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

          This webinar is motivated by Deuteronomy 6:7,Ā ā€œImpress them on your children. Talk about them when you get home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get upā€, with the purpose to offer encouragement and ideas to Christian parents as they endeavor to pass on their faith to the next generation. And whatever our age or life situation, we can all be working to encourage faith in those younger than us.

          How can each of us work to foster faith in the next generation?

          We’ve heard the statistic that a massive amount of young people are leaving the church as they enter into adulthood. We personally know some of them and wonder how this could be when they were raised in a family that believes in Jesus and goes to church.Ā If it’s true that 60% of those young adults fall away from the faith, will my child be included in that statistic?

          We can lament the degradation of moral values in the culture around us, but we have the ability to create a culture within the home that seeks what God values—that which is true, right, noble, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8).

          Our panelists are real parents in the trenches of discipling their children for a lifetime of spiritual growth and following Jesus. They speak to the challenges that come with this desire to live counter culture in a world that is so good at keeping us distracted and busy.

          What are they doing to build faith in the home across the spectrum of ages? How do they maintain regular time in the Word when schedules are so hectic? What does devotional time look like as a family? And how are children taught to incorporate individual time in the Word to grow this spiritually healthy lifelong habit?

          This webinar offers encouragement to single parents, those spiritually single (without a Christian spouse), and families with kids of all ages!

          We speak to the objections Satan wants you to believe. I don’t know enough doctrine to teach my kids! What if I say the wrong thing? I don’t have time. I don’t know where to start. They learn enough in Sunday school or youth group. It’s too late—my kids are too old. I’m too overwhelmed with everything else I’m responsible for.

          Are you a grandparent, godparent, Sunday school teacher, or youth group leader? How can you workĀ withĀ families to nurture the faith of their children and help them to fulfill their God-given role in teaching the next generation about Jesus?

          We’ll also offer resources that will help you get started right away. Don’t wait for the perfect game plan or the perfect time. Your goal is not to have perfect kids. You want your children in heaven with you someday! All you need is Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit through God’s Word and sacraments. You have the promises of God who wants all people to be saved—that includes your family—and he has given you everything you need to impress his truths on the hearts of your children.

          Find out more by listening to the webinar.
