Faith is learned best by example. In this episode, Lynette Steyn-Laurens reflects on what it really means to teach a child about God — and why it begins with your own walk of faith. From sharing daily testimonies and visible prayer, to hands-on moments like the “Armor of God” craft, this conversation is full of practical, heartfelt encouragement for families who want to make faith real at home.

💡 Key Ideas

• Faith starts with you — your children will mirror what they see, not just what they hear.

• Share small daily testimonies of God’s goodness and provision.

• Let children see you pray and study Scripture.

• Model Christ-like love, forgiveness, and service in family life.

• Use tools like the SOAP method (Scripture – Observation – Application – Prayer) to help them grow.

• Trust God with their choices — your job is to teach faithfully and pray consistently.
