Chapter 7: Fostering Faith

According to Barna, "Instilling character will build a good adult, but not necessarily an adult who loves God. So in addition, we need to instill values and beliefs that will lead children to a deep and lifelong faith in God." (pg 93 Revolutionary Parenting Workbook).

Below are the values and beliefs that Barna discusses:
  • The Bible is THE source

What role does the Bible play in your life? Describe how often you read it and why.

  • Absolute Moral Truth Exists

If you were going to have a coversation with your children about what truth is and where we can go to find it, what might you say?

  • The Church is our support system

What help is your church able to offer in reinforcing faith lessons you want your children to learn?

  • Servanthood should be a lifestyle

What obstacles do you face in making service at least a monthly habit for yourself and your children?

  • Prayer is essential

When can you pray with your children? Make a list of opportunities you have.

  • Love is the Centerpiece

What can you do this week to let your children know you love them?
