Preaching Faith as a Spider Web with Meredith Miller


Listen Later

Teaching kids about God is one of the greatest tasks of our lives. Even with good intentions, It’s easy to slip into behavior-driven moralism that emphasizes good behavior while neglecting the heart of God.

This disconnect一between head and heart一is why Meredith Anne Miller wrote her forthcoming book, Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kid Doesn’t Have to Heal From. In this episode, she explains to Steve Carter some of the simple shifts that can help you disciple kids better:

  • Simplify: limit the amount of info and the length of the lesson
  • Age appropriate: emphasize ideas kids can actually grasp developmentally
  • Make God the focus more than “what kids should do”
  • Kids are not an afterthought in our ministry; they are first in line to the Kingdom. Does your ministry reflect Jesus’ heart to disciple children? This episode will help you get there.
