57 minutes

www.graceenoughpodcast.com

Hillary Morgan Ferrer joins me to discuss some myths that Christians are tempted to believe when it comes to children and their faith. We also talk how to help our kids recognize false messages, the chew and spit method, linguistic theft, and the R.O.A.R. method that has been so helpful in my journey of separating truth from the subtle lies that bombard us daily.

Questions Hillary and I Discussed:

(3:35) Define apologetics and why you’re so passionate about parents embracing the role of apologist in the lives of their children.

(6:00) What are some of the myths we, as followers of Jesus, are tempted to believe when it comes to our children and their faith?

(16:50) Share a little about helping our kids discern truth from lies, what you deem the “chew and spit” method.

(29:38) In Mamabear Apologetics, you devote a whole chapter to linguistic theft. What is linguistic theft and how are we seeing it play it out right now in our culture?

(38:13) You advise parents to gain a clear understanding of each “ism” so that we can recognize which one is affecting our children. Will you share an overview of the “ism”s you are referring to and why it is important to know them?

(45:53) Lastly, there is no question we are living in a post-Christian culture here in America. Share the ROAR method with our listeners to help them address the lies we face on a daily basis.

Quotes to Remember:

“We have this idea that faith is this feeling that we conjure up when we don’t know something, but I’m just gonna believe it anyway, despite the evidence. That is a horrible definition of faith. A better definition of faith is if we go back to Scripture, to Hebrews 11:1 where it says faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see. So anything that makes you more sure and more certain increases your faith. It’s the idea of responding to available evidence.”
