Passing down the faith through generations is a faithful response to God's grace and His design for intergenerational faith families. None of this is random; it’s God’s choice.
Modeling and passing down faith is a vital part of our own inheritance. Paul encourages Timothy who is experiencing opposition. (2 Timothy 2)
Mentoring faith is the act of sharing an historical legacy of belief, an historical love for God, and an historical obedience to His Word. It's about creating a spiritual environment where next generations are more likely to receive and respond to God's gracious gift of faith. This ensures the continuity of the covenant family and the ongoing witness of God's work in the world that opposes this with all its heart, all its soul, all its mind and all its strength.
One of our reference books for this series is called, “Faith For Exiles: 5 Ways For A New Generation to Follow Jesus in Digital Babylon.” by Matlock & Kinneman.
I look around and I see several families here who were here as children themselves. Think about the importance of these interactions in your own journey of spiritual formation. Think about how you might contribute to this new vibrancy.
