Three Steps to Give Your Kids a Solid Biblical Foundation
Discipleship of kids should be divided into three distinct stages.
1.What
We start by teaching them the Christian story, theology, from a very young age. We do this by reading to them, singing to them, and having them memorize key scriptures and creeds.
2. Why
We transition from what we believe to why we believe this. This begins when they are in upper elementary school to middle school. A great way to do this is by asking questions. Play a reduced devil’s advocate. But also we should let them ask us questions. We should help them start to create their own reasons as to why they believe.
3. How
When they are in high school, then we teach them how to articulate their faith. We teach them rhetoric and how to defend their faith well. This happens by getting them out of the classroom and into the real world. They will learn by watching us engage the mormon who knocks on the door.
Discipling kids in this manner will prepare kids to engage the culture well, pointing the eyes of those they come into contact with to God.
