RAISING KIDS WITH A GENEROUS FAITH

11/20/2019

Growing up with a dad who was a Sunday school teacher and a great story teller, I have always loved the Bible stories. As a child, my faith seemed to grow without much resistance. When I became a little older, I  realized that my faith needed to extend beyond a system of beliefs.  At a young age, I left my home country and began living abroad. Living as a minority, I am constantly navigating boundaries and encountering cultural complications.  Because of this, I developed a faith that is more fluid and continuously evolving.  Now as a parent myself, I recognize the need to be conscious of all these factors as I try to raise my own children.  I often ask myself questions like these: 

  • What does raising our children in faith mean? 
  • How do gender equality and parental authority play out in our home? 
  • How can we make sure that we do not impose our "religious baggage" onto our kids?
  • How do we read the Bible with our children?

If you too have ever wondered about questions like these I'd like to recommend a resource that may be helpful. I recently came across a podcast from Cindy Wang Brandt, an author who writes about her experiences of shifting away from a conservative evangelical faith and how that affects her parenting.  She was recently interviewed on the Bible For Normal People Podcast and had a number of interesting things to say.  I would love for you to listen and let me know your thoughts!

Faith and children are a passion of mine, so I always welcome a good discussion  :)
