Episode Summary:

In Episode 003 we discuss 10 tips for introducing your kids to Jesus. Ultimately, it is not our responsibility whether our children choose to follow Christ or not; it is theirs. Even if we do everything right, which we won’t, our kids may choose their own path or take a few detours. Your job is to teach them well, pray for them often, and then, trust God with the rest.

Here are a few tips to help you teach your kids about Christ:

1. Keep age-appropriate Bibles and Bible Storybooks around your house. And, read them playfully!
   
2. Pray with your child each night, big bold prayers and tiny little prayers!
   
3. Learn fun blessings to use at mealtimes.
   
4. Apologize to your kids when you make mistakes or lose your cool.
   
5. Talk about God as Creator when you are outside in nature.
   
6. Sing Sunday School songs from your childhood, if you know any.
   
7. Listen to praise music together.
   
8. Tell your kids what a great job God did when He made them! “Wow, I love how silly God made you!”
   
9. Teach in your child’s Sunday School class.
   
10. Have other Christian adults regularly in your child’s life.
    

BONUS TIP!!

11. Keep faith fun! Laugh, sing, play, and celebrate every day!
