How Can We Know the Truth About God?

How Can We Know the Truth About God? | Family Conversations on Real Life Theology In our very first episode of the Family Conversations on Real Life Theology podcast, we dive into the fundamental question: "How can we know the truth about God?" As parents, one of our greatest challenges is helping our children navigate a culture that often encourages "self-invention." We discuss why grounding children in their identity as beings made in the image of God is crucial, and why the ancient practice of catechism—engaging in simple, honest family conversations—remains one of the most effective tools for discipleship today. Join us as we explore how to move beyond basic arguments and cultivate a faith that is deeply rooted in Scripture, creation, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
