The Biggest Loser

Check out this blog from Rich Melheim (it is a sobering twist from what you'd expect with the title). Rich is the key guy at Faith Inc. He has for years been lifting parents up as key in faith formation. We have seen him at his home and he lives it as well. Challenging words, but, from my perspective, right on the money.

Faith Inc and Rich get it. Dick Hardel from FaithWellMT gets it. The folks at Vibrant Faith Ministries get it. Ben and Jennifer Freudenburg of the Family Friendly Partners Network get it. It can't be business as usual because business as usual has meant a church centered focus instead of a home centered focus for passing on our faith in Jesus. And it will take a long time to change the culture. It can be changed, with a strong partnership between church and home, and the results are worth it: parents and children talking about faith, living their faith and passing their faith in Jesus on "to the children not yet born" (Psalm 78:1-7).
