Mama Bear Apologetics
I (Kasey) did not feel prepared when my spunky four-year-old daughter snuggled up to me at bedtime and said, “Mom, a friend at school said it’s okay for girls to marry girls. She asked me if I would marry her when we grew up. I thought girls could only marry boys!” I had to have a conversation with my four-year-old about same-sex marriage.
I did not feel wholly prepared when my sweet eight-year-old son asked, “Mom, does a person have to believe in Jesus? What if they are just really nice and kind? Would that be okay?” Answering the question from a theological perspective is one thing, but it is very different as a mother explaining it to your eight-year-old son, knowing he’s thinking about specific friends at school.
These questions were just the beginning and are getting more complicated every day!
As our culture continues to confuse the backdrop behind our parenting, we need to be ready to respond. How are we, as mothers, preparing for these conversations?
“Mama Bear Apologetics” is a great book to help prepare us for big questions and to navigate conversations — not lectures — with our children. We need to guide them to the truth and teach them how valuable it is and how to pursue it with wisdom and discernment when we’re not around.
