How do we equip children to engage the culture around them in the way of Jesus?
- encountering and engaging the other cultures around them (when? where? how?)
- distinguishing and respecting cultural differences
- attitudes
- words, vocabulary, meanings
- talking about ideas (What’s the message? What’s God’s message? How to live it? How to deliver it? )
- creative alternatives
- talking about artwork or commercials
- talk about stories (movies, tv shows, books)
- supervised community involvement (faith community and outside community)
- some cultural elements will help illuminate the nature of God, the Gospel, the scriptures
- some cultural elements deny it
- families participating together in the outside community
- parents sharing ideas and resources
- parents using each other as resources
