Episode 25 - Preparing Kids for a Worldly School Year
Back-to-school season presents Christian parents with the challenge of preparing children to maintain their faith when returning to worldly environments after spending summer in Christian homes.
• Live your faith authentically in front of your children, avoiding the trap of displaying different personas at church versus home
• Make prayer a normal part of family life, allowing children to witness parents in genuine communication with God
• Studies show about 80% of children whose fathers actively attend church maintain lifelong church involvement
• Involve children in church service and community outreach to demonstrate faith in action
• As children mature, transition from direct parenting to mentorship, becoming coaches rather than controllers
• Focus on raising children "to be in heaven" rather than pursuing worldly accomplishments or recognition
• Remember that consistency in modeling Christian living has greater impact than formal religious instruction
