We all want our children to be confident of who they are and able to make good decisions for themselves, but they are hearing conflicting messages. They are told that they can define themselves by their achievements, popularity or how they feel, and that sexuality, morality and gender are just a question of personal choice. Let's take a collective breath and remember that parents and carers are God’s Plan A for showing their children the Bible’s better answers on these topics, which are neither surprising nor confusing to our creator God.

How is faith best nurtured at home and in church? We’ll look at how faith in Christ transforms our parenting and how that, in turn, can shape our children. The family home is where it is at with the strong support from the local church. Sunday School matters, but it’s in the daily grind of home life that real discipleship happens. It’s where children see faith in action and learn to follow Jesus in life’s highs and lows.

Building on the previous two seminars we will consider how parents and the church can work together to tackle the hardest topics. Too often, Christian parents feel nervous and intimidated talking to their children on the subjects of bodies, friendships, gender, sexuality and their sense of self. Instead we can see these topics as the opportunity to build faith.  You will leave with fresh confidence to talk to children about what matters most.
