As they grow beside us, we have the honor of stewarding their precious faith and preparing them for life. To raise godly kids takes more than bringing them to church or sending them to Christian programs. Our children need us. They look to us for guidance as we live our lives in faith and instruct them in theirs.  \nI’m sure many of us have spent hours praying and pondering the question: “How can I build a solid foundation for my child’s faith?”This may look like prayer at home, sharing the Bible as a family, or dedicated devotion time. It may look like choosing media for our kids that reflects God’s truth and building for them healthy, God-focused communities. When our faith permeates our lives sincerely and intentionally—when it weaves into our conversations, routines, and decisions—we model for our children what it means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly.  \nBut there are also times when we feel deeply inadequate. As our children grow, they go through seasons of questioning. Sometimes,  \nlies of the enemy creep in, sowing doubt and fear. Or maybe we see legalism taking root—patterns of trying to “measure up” in order to please God. Other times, the questioning may not be negative. We have the joy of seeing our children’s appetite for the Lord grow quick and voracious—until we realize how ill-equipped we feel to answer their torrent of questions.  \nIt can be frightening when our children begin to ask us big questions about faith—especially if we do not knowhow to respond. But we do not have to hide from these serious conversations. Instead, we can prepare not only to show them a godly life but to instruct them—help them to understand what our example really means in light of the gospel. We can train them to seek out truth in the Word of God. This is the heart of discipleship.  \nGospel Ready helps equip you to have these sorts of conversations with your kids. This book has two parts. Part one is a brief parents’ guide. These notes give you a “brush up” on the topic at hand. They are short and sweet, but they have the depth you need to feel confident. Part two contains seven devotionals to serve as springboards for discussion with your kids. Each devotional contains a passage of Scripture to read together, discussion questions to direct your conversation, and for very little children, an activity to help them stay engaged.  \nThese devotions are not for reading in one sitting, and the questions are not meant for answering with a single sentence. This is meant tobe a back-and-forth conversation with your child as you make room for their questions and seek out","cbCaioqxPwfmezx0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioqxPwfmezx0","pdf",250557,19,"English","# Introduction\n## Parents’ Guide: Believer’s Baptism\n## Origins and Purpose of Baptism\n## Is Your Child Ready?\n## Discipleship and Belonging\n## Discipleship Devotionals\n## The Baptism of Jesus\n## The Great Commission\n## The Call to Repentance\n## Baptism and New Life\n## Washed Clean\n## Sharing the Story of Jesus With Others\n## Becoming a Lifelong Disciple\n## Conclusion\n## Glossary","[{\"question\":\"What does Gospel Ready help parents do?\",\"answer\":\"Gospel Ready helps parents prepare to have meaningful conversations with their children about faith, Scripture, and baptism.
