Faith Formation Framework Series 4: Faith Catalyzed by Family Intimacy and Intentionalityਨਮੂਨਾ

Talking Faith Together

Focus

Breath prayer: “Guide our words, Lord.”

Listen

Scripture: Colossians 3:16 (NRSV)

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God."

Reflection:

Conversations about faith don’t need to be perfect or polished. They are conversations of honesty, mutual learning, and gentle encouragement. When parents and caregivers create space for young people to voice questions, share what they’re learning, and wonder aloud, they create a culture of trust. We do not pass down faith by controlling it, but by modeling how we ourselves are growing and learning. Faith conversations often happen best in the unplanned moments—on a walk, cooking dinner, or getting to school.
