Fortifying Against Doubt (Workshop LER 2019)

There will come a time in the life of faith for every child when they will have to decide for themselves, “Do I really believe this?”

In chapter V of “Parents and Children”, Charlotte Mason speaks to us on the role of “parents as inspirers” in “the things of the Spirit.”  Her words of encouragement, however, are not for the faint of heart, and challenge many commonly-held views in Western Christianity.  This is a recording (sorry for the poor quality) recording of a conversation that centers not on silencing the inevitable doubts, but rather on intentionally fortifying against whatever may come. Mason tells us “…there is much to be done beforehand, though nothing when the time comes.”

Chapter V of Parents and Children beforehand (Vol, 2, pp 41 – 49)

“I know these are two terms that seem really unimportant, let’s move on to the Great Recognition, and the Great Recognition is incredibly important, but accidental and essential (vital) truths are some of the very things that Mason writes about that are, I would say, the key in to navigating chaos with our kids. As they are moving forward.”
