As parents in a secular culture, it can be difficult to talk with our kids about why being a Christian matters. Our schools and other organizations in which our children are involved shape our kids to be "good," "moral," and "make a difference." It is hard to disagree with that.

This article from the Christian Century is an interview with Vern Bengeston. He spent 35 years studying how religious faith is passed from generation to generation. Grab your family Bible (if you don't have one, now is great time to get one!) and share your favorite Bible story with your children. Not only will you pass the story to your children, but you will remember those who passed it on to you! |
