Raising Disciples: How to Make Faith Matter for Our Kids

By Natalie Frisk | Published in 2019 by Herald Press

Many of the things we provide for our kids, we do so by outsourcing. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

If your little Boo Bear wants to learn to play a musical instrument and you don’t possess that particular skill, you find a good teacher.

Do they need a haircut or a cavity filled? Defer to an expert.

If my teenager needs help with Pre-Calculus, I find a good tutor. (Because my “natural logarithm” includes crying and raging when it comes to the higher maths. That scene would not be helpful to our relationship AT ALL.)

In Raising Disciples, Natalie Frisk reminds us that the one thing we just can’t risk outsources when it comes to our kids is their spiritual formation. She nails the nail on the head when she says, “We need to be aware: we as parents are the primary disciplers of our children.” It’s not the church. Ideally, the church comes alongside the parents in the spiritual formation of their kids, not the other way around. Raising Disciples reminds us of what is most important in the raising of our kids: Showing them the way to Jesus. Amen to that.

Her book includes chapters on the stages of spiritual development, as well as information on what to expect during different stages of a child’s life. So good!

It’s an easy read, full of good take-away information. I highly recommend it!
