Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kid Doesn't Have to Heal From

Christian parenting books often promote obedience-training models, but what if the goal is to help children get to know God and discover that God can be trusted? Woven provides a guidebook for parents who want to nurture a resilient faith based on genuine love for and trust in God, allowing children to explore the Bible, ask big questions, and change their understanding of God and faith along the way.

Most Christian parenting books offer precise practices that every family should adhere to in order to raise obedient children. In this obedience-training model, faith serves as a wall, painstakingly constructed brick by brick, with adults instructing children on what to believe and how to behave. However, what if obedience is not the ultimate goal of Christian parenting? What if our primary responsibility as parents is to help our children develop a personal relationship with God and discover the trustworthiness of God? And what if faith is not built solely through the accumulation of individual bricks but rather through a delicate weaving of strands?

Much like a spider's web, in which anchor strands and internal threads combine to form a unique web, Woven can assist children in anchoring their faith and cultivating faith practices that are rich, textured, and entirely their own. Children require the space to delve into the Bible, raise profound questions, and even revise their understanding of God and faith as they journey through life. With Woven, families can foster a faith that is resilient, capable of adapting and growing, enduring breakage and repair. This kind of faith is well-suited to withstand the challenges a child will face, the doubts they will encounter, and the questions that will arise along the way.

Many parents yearn to impart their faith to their children, recognizing that God is far greater than the list of dos and don'ts they were taught as children. They desire to pass along a faith that their child does not need to heal from. Woven is the handbook that parents have been eagerly searching for. With a profound reverence for scripture and engaging activities designed to strengthen the faith of your entire family, Woven is intended for parents who aspire to go beyond a mere list of dos and don'ts and impart a resilient faith rooted in genuine love for and trust in God.
