Is it Okay to Question God and the Christian Faith?
A lot of people think that the Christian faith requires blind allegiance, that you have to close your eyes and ears to the doubts and criticism and just keep believing. And, sadly, a lot of Christians do just that. Given the number of youth who are leaving the faith these days, I don’t think this plan is working out very well.
In latest episode of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD, I tackle a question that every parent needs to have firmly settled: is it ok to question God and the Christian faith?
Kids are coming home from school, extracurricular activities, higher education, work, and even church with serious questions about Christianity. And this is a good thing.We don’t want our kids to have a shallow mindless faith. These questions are an open door to help solidify our children’s faith.
But how do you handle those probing questions?
How do you help your kids with these difficult topics?
How do you encourage them to seek answers?
Tune in to Episode 30 of CP/CW to find out. In it, I give some critically important advice on how to prepare for the tough conversations that inevitably arise in our parenting.
