Show Notes:
What does teaching the faith at home really mean – and how is it done?
Author Dave Rueter answers these questions – and more – as he sits down with Elizabeth to discuss the purpose of taking faith education outside the classroom as churches and schools prepare for a new school year. Dave digs into the meaning of catechesis, why it’s vital for parents to be involved in their children’s faith journeys, the challenges of teaching the faith in blended and single parent families, and some strategies for lifelong catechesis.
Questions:
· What is catechesis anyway?
· Why is it important to put energy into building a catechesis culture in our congregations?
· Why does the church struggle with confirmation?
· Why is it essential that parents are involved in teaching the faith to their children?
· Why is a relationship with the family, not just the student, so important in catechesis?
· What challenges are present when teaching the faith in blended or single parent homes? How can the church help?
· What tips/advice can you share about how to increase biblical literacy in students, especially as they undergo confirmation classes?
· What are some common misconceptions people have about confirmation?
· What are some strategies for lifespan catechesis?
· Why does Martin Luther’s Small Catechism hold up so well today, even though it was written in the 1500s?
