We depend on the Bible as our faith-guide, long for God to grant us stronger faith , and enjoy stories of faith in our world. So we follow where he leads. From the beginning, it was God's plan that faith be handed off like a baton, from one generation to the next. Parents can not command that their children have faith, but they can hand-off their faith a little at a time. Parents shape faith by telling their story , living authentic lives of faith, doing the things that children notice , and sharing experiences with others .
Churches can schedule a practical faith shaping workshop for parents right here.
Church leaders are called to the holy task of equipping us to be faith shapers. Their first step is to make sure they are leading by faith. Retreats and team coaching help everyone to build on a foundation of trust. As leaders examine their strengths and gain more insight they will find renewed hope. Faith fitness requires struggle, so as our culture continues to slide, the opportunity for stronger faith grows.
