Apologetic Resources for Children and Teens



By Amber Pike

 

The world our children and grandchildren are growing up in is increasingly secularized and hostile. Everywhere our children turn, they are challenged to doubt and question the truth of God’s Word. How do we teach our children and grandchildren to stand firmly on the truths of Scripture? Intentionally equip them, first by saturating them with God’s Word, then by providing them with Scripture-rich, faith-growing resources.

 

When it comes to resources, however, not all resources are created equal. Any and every resource needs to be thoroughly looked through before being put in the hands of children or teens. You’d be shocked and saddened by how far away from Scripture some resources are.

 

Ask these questions.

1. Does this resource stand on the authority of the Word?

2. Are there any doctrinal, theological, or Scriptural errors?

3. Will this grow my child or grandchild in his/her faith?

 

Are you ready to create your own library of resources to help strengthen your children and grandchildren but unsure where to start? Check out this list with some of my favorite resources to get started, no matter what stage of life your children or grandchildren are in.
