r525Does asking your kids, “What did you learn in church today?” actually do anything? Are there better ways to start faith conversations with kids? And once you do, what’s your goal? Sarah Cowan Johson, author of Teach Your Children Well, the 2023 CT Marriage & Parenting Book of the Year, challenges whether the idea of “getting it” is really worth our time, and along with our hosts, considers how we might engage in relationships with our kids that include faith and discipleship. The Child in Our Midst is a podcast of the Center for Faith and Children, where we’re reimagining church where a child’s faith flourishes.

The foundations for a lifelong faith begin not in children’s ministry or church programs, but with parents. In a world that pushes us to be distracted, disengaged, and anxious, how can we instead disciple our children from a place of peace, attentiveness, and responsiveness to the Holy Spirit’s work in our family?   In this episode, Jay Y. Kim is joined by Sarah Cowan Johnson, a ministry trainer, consultant, coach, and author of Teach Your Children Well. Together they explore effective strategies for everyday family discipleship and discuss how parents can be expectant and aware of God’s presence and ongoing work in their children.
