Busted Halo ~ Celebrating Advent in Your Home
Stephen and Rebecca explain the importance of the domestic church, which Stephen describes as “how we do faith formation in our families.” Rebecca adds, “Faith grows at home. I think there’s an issue in our current culture where a lot of kids who grew up in the faith don’t end up carrying it through [and] leave the church in their young adulthood…One of the solutions is don’t outsource faith formation. Your church starts with mom and dad around the dinner table. Those seeds get planted there and get watered there.”
