And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6 The Message) 3 questions around Faith: What do you believe? Who do you believe God is? Are you living what you say you believe? Actions reveal beliefs 100% of the time Are you passing faith on to your son? Your kids are likely to do, and believe, what they see you do and believe Closing questions for reflection and action: How are you defining faith, through what you say and do? What is the story of your faith journey? Who are you becoming? Have you ever written out or recorded your story? What is one step you can take today to grow in your faith? How are you shaping your son’s faith? Have you outsourced this to someone else? If so, what needs to change?
