Why Apologetics
Hi Friends!
I want to quickly discuss the importance of teaching your children apologetics.
What is apologetics?
“Apologetics is a branch of theology devoted to the defense of the divine origin and authority of Christianity.” - Merriam-Webster
In our homeschool we dedicate one day to apologetics. It’s moved around during the school year. Right now it’s Thursdays. I teach it alongside logic and worldview. It is a fun packed day.
I started teaching apologetics because I want my children to have a solid foundation for when they come upon different world views. I want them to be able to defend their faith with strength and courage.
We cannot take our children’s faith for granted. We must teach them the habit of nourishing it everyday.
My daughter also had really good questions that needed to be answered appropriately and apologetics is the resource needed.
When we teach apologetics, world view and logic, we are sharing different cultures, religions, and perspectives. This allows them to know and understand the truth.
Currently we are reading through the Case for Christ for kids, which my daughter is enjoying.
Do you teach apologetics to your children?
