"... parents from religious traditions that in
general promote greater commitment and encourage discussing faith
outside the sanctuary also were more likely to have children who
remained active in their faith as young adults."

Quite a challenge. Quite a responsibility.
May we prove ourselves up to it!

Seems we parents are important to our kids faith... and that holding them accountable keeps them more interested. I wouldn't be surprised if that held true in other areas, like education and community service. If we do it, they'll do it. If we encourage effort and commitment they'll respond.Quite a challenge. Quite a responsibility.
May we prove ourselves up to it!
Blessings on your day!

I believe that to be absolutely true. The bible says " train a child up in the way he should go and when he is old he shall not depart from it".
