The God They See: Why Theology is Unignorable as a Parent
As a parent, when you’re disciplining, breaking up fights, or chatting in the car—would you believe you’re doing theology? Theologian Kelly Kapic knows theology isn't just a matter of what we think. It affects who we are. Theology is about life, which means our souls can’t afford to avoid it. So what version of God are our kids internalizing? How can we respond thoughtfully in talks with our kids about acceptance, injustice, suffering, poverty, and moral absolutes? Kelly, author of A Little Book for New Theologians: Why and How to Study Theology, offer do-this-now ideas to shape an unshakeable theology that can stand up to whatever life tosses at our kids.
