Talking to our children about our faith is not something that God simply suggests we do; He expects us to. Regarding the ways of God, he says in Deuteronomy 11:19: “Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you go to bed and when you get up. “
Praying with our children and being an example is what we must do every day.
