164 Four Keys to Your Children Keeping the Faith

Mystery of Parenthood

On Tuesday, August 31, host Trey Cashion went through a great article on Aleteia (https://aleteia.org/2021/05/21/if-you-want-your-kids-to-stay-catholic-heres-what-matters-most/) based on the social science research of University of Notre Dame professor Christian Smith. Smith is interested in how families pass on their Catholic faith to their children and keep them in the Faith. It's a great conversation and you can take confidence too. One of the article's key take-aways (and good news) is that the influence and the example of parents really makes a difference in how children internalize and make religious faith their own. Our children are listening and watching us for how we live out our Faith and if it really matters to us! Listen in and remember to pray, parent with a purpose, and prepare for God to amaze you. And he will!
