Sarah Cowan Johnson
How do we parent our kids in ways that lead to lasting faith? Learn how to have an active discipleship role and form your child's faith.
About The Course
Half of Christian high school students walk away from their faith after graduation. But parental involvement is the most influential predictor of a child’s spirituality throughout their lives. How do we parent our kids in ways that lead to lasting faith?
In this course, Sarah Cowan Johnson unpacks how parents can have an active discipleship role in forming their children’s faith, with age-appropriate insights and strategies for different developmental stages. She shows how we can identify God moments, facilitate spiritual encounters, clarify emerging beliefs, and encourage new faith habits in our children.
Filled with exercises and activities for families to do together, this course is an essential resource for discipling children with confidence and creativity.
The course is based on the book Teach Your Children Well (InterVarsity Press) available for purchase at ivpress.com or at Amazon.com.
