The Art of Protecting Your Family’s Faith
"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." – Proverbs 22:6
In a world full of distractions and challenges, creating a home where faith thrives is an act of love and devotion. Proverbs 22:6 reminds us that guiding our children in God’s ways not only shapes their present but also secures their spiritual future. Protecting your family’s faith is an intentional journey rooted in prayer, wisdom, and steadfast commitment.
Faith and Family: The Lasting Impact
Research by the Barna Group shows that 64% of young adults who were raised in faith-centered homes continue to prioritize their spiritual lives. A family culture grounded in God’s Word equips children to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and purpose, while leaving a legacy of faith for generations to come.
