No matter where you are in your own spiritual journey, no matter how little you know about the Bible, no matter how busy your schedule, you CAN grow your kids in Christian faith! Parents of faith are the most influential people in the lives of children - more than pastors, Sunday School teachers, youth workers, or teachers. Passing our faith to our kids is the responsibility of the church (home grown faith versus church grown faith). There are certain conditions that parents can intentionally create in the home that will leave a legacy of faith for their childre, grandchildren, and beyond. They include prayer and devotions; family acts of service; caring conversations; and rituals and traditions. Home Grown Faith will encourage and teach parents how they can shape the spiritual future of their kids one day at a time.
