A redeemed child of God, happy husband, homeschooling dad of nine, and lifelong lover of good books.
Hey Dads,
We hear about so many young people who have grown up in Christian homes but left the faith. We can’t guarantee that our children will follow God, but we can find ways to help encourage a thinking, vibrant faith in God’s word . . . including using books!
–Nathan
Just as healthy plants need nourishment, our children need nourishment too. Specifically, their faith in God and His word needs nourishment. How do we, as fathers, provide that nourishment to their souls? In this episode, I list five practical tips to help you nourish your children’s souls in trusting God.
We’re not promoting mindless belief and blind faith; we strongly believe in thinking through questions, we cherish the responsibility of finding out why we should or should not believe certain things; and we want to nourish inquisitiveness in our children’s minds.
You and I don’t have to be experts or feel expert in a particular field to speak confidently about God’s word.
