His questions sent me scurrying for the Bible. I wasn't sure I remembered all the details of the story. The only way for both of us to learn together was to read the story directly from the Bible. It didn't matter so much how I answered Chris' questions. What mattered and helped us both grow was the time reading together and then sharing our own thoughts about what this told us about God.
Children are natural doers.
They are active, they love projects, and they love to be involved. Thinking and talking about an idea is not always enough. One way we grow in faith together is to become people of action . You might want to reread the book of James in the New Testament. Its emphasis on good works made Martin Luther cringe, but it does help us realize that we often judge a person's faith by the actions we see.
