Teaching kids about Christ is more than just imparting knowledge; it's about building relationships. In Christian ministry, relationships are at the center. Biblically literate kids who can recite Christian doctrine might sound smart, but there’s a deeper knowledge learned by experiencing community with one another. That's why we prioritize relationship-building moments that point kids towards the spirit of our faith. Let's teach our kids to share their lives with one another and build meaningful relationships. Sometimes church looks like making food and sharing it with one another. #communitymatters #youthministry

Are your kids being catechized on Sunday or just entertained? Scripture holds teachers to a high standard regarding the content they teach and how they do it (James 3). This standard applies even to our Sunday School curriculums and the people we have leading our children. While it is appropriate to customize our content based on our audience, it is never appropriate to dumb down Christianity or to simply try to entertain our children. Sunday schools must develop a robust and precise curriculum to introduces children to the depth of Christianity. Christian parents must ask more from the Sunday schools they allow their kids to attend. 🔗Click here to watch the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/gbdppJDW . . . #MAVENParentPodcast #sundayschool #parenting #apologetics #worldview #faith

#Children’sMinistry #FamilyMinistry#YouthMinistry Have you noticed in your ministry that parents are having more issues than ever before? Especially when it comes to making disciples of their own children. I think we in the body of Messiah have made the mistake of helping people convert to Christianity, but not actually helping them to become disciples of Christ. I think that as people people want to become great parents and they want their they want to share their face with their children, I just don’t think that they have not been taught how. I would like to see a parent ministry focused based on helping adults, see themselves as authentic Christian, and live that authentic life before their kids. I was highly startled by Barna‘s research last year that said that 98% of Christian parent do not live a Christian life in front of their kids. What can we do to change this? What does it look like for churches to take ownership of this issue, and to make a difference in the lives of our congregation?

From the archives... To this article I would add, if Christian parents believe that they will be able to teach their children Christian morals while sending them to government school, then their efforts will be akin to trying to put out a bonfire with a squirt gun. 14,000 hours of government-school indoctrination (all teaching is indoctrination) based on a secular humanist/atheist worldview (theology) will not be undone by a side dish of Christianity at Sunday school or youth group (most of which are not even intent on discipling your children). Government schools, on the other hand, are in fact intent on discipling your children. #HomeEducation #homeschool #homeschooling #education #GetOutNow #PublicSchoolExit #ChristianEducation #EdcuationIsDiscipleship #ChristianHomeschoolRevolution https://lnkd.in/gNpCakh
