About this episode
On the eighth episode of the Family Discipleship Podcast Adam Griffin is joined by JT English and Kyle Worley from the Knowing Faith podcast. They talk about a foundational question, but one that is far from easy - How do you talk with your family about the Trinity? Questions we discussed on this episode: What heresies do you commonly hear when y’all are teaching on the Trinity? We see a lot of people trying to use concrete metaphors to teach kids about the Trinity. What is the worst trinitarian metaphor you’ve ever heard? Why is it important to teach kids about the trinity? Is there a less confusing way to say “three persons in one God”? How do you help kids understand the distinctness and the sameness of the Trinity? When you talk to your kids about the actions of God in their lives do you get specific about the persons of the trinity at work? Is it ok to just say “God”? How does trinitarian theology affect how we teach kids to pray? Is it ok to have some mystery in your answers to kids about the Trinity or should we keep it concrete? If a parent is stumped by a question from their kids or on something you just said, where should they turn? What could they read? Who should they talk to? What are your favorite Old Testament story for teaching on the Trinity?
