I'm convinced that it will be much harder for me to get on my soapbox when my son is a teenager.

But, for now, he's a toddler and so I TOTALLY agree with you! :)

Questions are fantastic.

First base is where we all start, not sure about the whole God thing. Second base is when we begin to ask more questions and become a seeker. Third base being the step before accepting Jesus. And home plate is where we become a follower of Jesus. Anyway, the kids started talking about the doubts and questions they have and about all the other influences around them. Creating that safe place is key and letting kids know it is okay to question things will only help them in making their relationship with Jesus personal.

So simple, yet so profound and effective. Man, I think about what Tony said that day A LOT. So simple, yet so profound and effective.
