Most Christian parents want their kids to keep their faith when they get older. But sadly, the stats show that’s probably not going to happen.
The truth is that your kids will probably lose their faith. This is what the stats say, and the numbers don’t lie.
Yep, the odds are that if you have a Christian child today, they will almost certainly lose their faith during their high-school and college years.
But to make matters worse, many Christian parents naively send their child off to the front lines of this culture war (the modern high-school and college) with absolutely no training in what has been called the Demonstratio Christiana – the science which shows that Jesus Christ claimed and proved Himself to be a messenger sent by God to teach a doctrine of salvation that is obligatory on all men – a science better known as Christian apologetics.
This is incredibly irresponsible parenting. Every Christian parent has a duty to raise their child in the faith. And sending you child off to a university in today’s secular world without some hardcore training in Christian apologetics is not only foolish, it’s a serious sin of omission.
As Christians, we must, we absolutely must, teach ourselves and the next generation how to deal with the intellectual assaults against our faith.
Recently I was the guest on Catholic Answers Radio talking about the importance of teenage apologetics.
