FAMILY
parents, grandparents, guardians
“You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise” (Deuteronomy 6:7).
Discipleship Starts at Home
Perspectives about life and views of the world are primarily formed at home during childhood and adolescence. The question isn’t whether a young person will have a worldview but whether their worldview will be based on biblical precepts or false ideas. Our best opportunity to influence the process of shaping a biblical worldview is during these formative years.
Children need to know the key people, themes, and stories of the Bible and the core doctrines of Christianity. Rather than having bits and pieces of the truth, young people need to be taught the Bible comprehensively.
Children also need to be trained to think biblically about economics, justice, friendship, gender, and matters of life. Young people must see the connection between what they believe and how they live.
RenewaNation champions a biblical worldview discipleship model that is family-focused, church-supported, and school-enriched.
It takes a family to develop a biblical worldview.
God designed parents and grandparents to have the central discipling roles in the lives of children. The goal of parenting and grandparenting is the salvation and sanctification of children and their maturation into the likeness of Christ. Discipleship should, first and foremost, start early and often in the home.
According to the Bible, parents have been given the primary role of discipling children to maturity in Christ. Research reveals that parents know it’s their responsibility to disciple a child, yet this understanding has not translated to sustained activity at home. Most parents lack a biblical, God-honoring plan and have a home that is light on discipling. Parents often rely heavily on the church for the discipleship of a child and do not realize the impact education is having on their child’s spiritual development.
At RenewaNation, we inspire and equip families to understand and fulfill their biblical role to be intentional about their children’s biblical worldview development.
