Discussion Questions:
Spiritual Education and Parental Roles:
How do you think involving children in religious activities and practices, like going to church and praying together, shapes their spiritual foundation? What strategies can parents, particularly fathers, employ to be more actively involved in their children's spiritual education?
Stewardship and Neglect:
Andrew and Garritt describe failing to guide children spiritually as a severe form of neglect. Do you agree with this perspective? Why or why not?
Macro vs. Micro Culture:
How can families create strong, faith-based micro cultures at home to counteract the negative influences of the broader societal macro culture? What specific practices or traditions have you found effective in your own experience?
Managing Modern Cultural Challenges:
In the face of increasing exposure to negative influences like pornography and violent media, what practical steps can parents take to control what enters their home environment?
Discernment and Tribalism:
Andrew Pudewa discusses the importance of discernment and avoiding an "us versus them" mentality. How can families cultivate discernment in both children and adults to navigate modern societal challenges?
Physical and Spiritual Resilience:
Andrew Pudewa suggests that intentional physical discomfort (e.g., fasting, enduring extreme temperatures) can build spiritual and mental strength. Do you agree with this approach? How might you implement such practices in your own life?
Identity in Relationship to the Creator:
Pudewa emphasizes the importance of understanding one's identity starting with their highest relationship with the Creator. How does this perspective impact the way you view and nurture your children's understanding of their identity?
Raising Children with a Biblical Foundation:
How does a Biblical discipleship provide essential frameworks for children to understand the world?
Happiness and Ordered Life Purpose:
According to Pudewa, happiness stems from having a "properly ordered purpose." How can parents help their children find and follow a properly ordered purpose that aligns with their beliefs and values?
Preparing for Potential Persecution:
In light of Andrew Pudewa's talk "Preparing for Persecution," how should modern families approach the possibility of facing persecution for their faith? What practical and spiritual preparations can be made?
