I can guess that you may be feeling a little overwhelmed at your role and responsibility of building faith in your child. You may be asking, “How am I going to do this? I never had faith conversations in my home with my parents. How am I supposed to do this with my child? What am I supposed to tell them?” Let’s look at the Deuteronomy passage again for the answer.
“Tell him: ‘We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Before our eyes the Lord sent miraculous signs and wonders—great and terrible—upon Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household. But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land that he promised on oath to our forefathers.’”.
What do you tell your child? The story. You don’t have to be a theologian. You simply have to know YOUR story of God has impacted your life and then simply tell that story to your children. Don’t be intimidated. You can do this. It’s not that difficult. And if you need help, then go to a Christian church because the role of the church is to be a life-long partner, not a replacement, to help you know and tell the story.
