Talking to Your Kids About God | The How, When, and Why

As Christian dads, the greatest influence in our lives should be God and the Bible. Every aspect of our lives, from work to family, should be influenced by scripture. This is important for us, but it is also going to be important for our children.   One day our children will grow up and venture off on their own. Will they be rooted enough in God’s word to navigate life and withstand the challenges? We are instructed to bring our children up in the training and the instruction of the Lord. We are also instructed to impress the scriptures on them regularly.   I want to talk to you about the importance of doing this and share a recent conversation I had with my children in an attempt to help them understand the importance of the Bible. I will advice you on how you can talk about these things, when to have these conversations, and why you need to have them.   Here is the interview I did with Pastor Steve Schobert on Deuteronomy 6 and what it means to love God: https://fatheringourfuture.com/2024/02/05/what-it-means-to-love-god-interview-with-steve-schobert/   This is the illustrated children’s Bible I reference in the episode: https://amzn.to/3ySrulL   —   Get your copy of the new devotional for dads, Following Our Father: https://amzn.to/4dtGfKD   Get your free gift, a copy of Cut The Crap (E-book): https://fatheringourfuture.com/2024/08/04/free-download-for-new-dads/   Become a financial partner with Fathering Our Future and make a direct impact on dads: https://fatheringourfuture.com/support/
