I’ve often thought about how even the basic language we hear when we talk about teaching kids is misleading. The phrases “live out their faith in the real-world” or “apply the Bible to real-life” show a scary worldview where church and the Bible are not “real,” and so there must be some automatic disconnect between Bible truth and “reality.”

I’d say that we must reach a place where, like Jesus did with the disciples, EVERYTHING a child experiences is our chance to show them faith first-hand. A big vague answer for a very specific set of questions, I’m afraid.
