Identify one or two ways you can help prepare your students for attacks on their Christian faith.

It is easier than ever to access arguments against the Christian worldview from our classrooms and engage in a discussion around those arguments. Asking students to identify the deception in some of these arguments prepares them to respond in the world.

I like the idea of bringing in current news articles, and even social media posts and have them identify biblical world views vs of the world views, and elicit discussion how they can see these things (as my students are older) but not be affected by them.

Teach them the Word–how to read and study it for themselves. Be so filled with the Word that when they ask questions and you engage in daily classroom life, you can respond from the Word and in the Word.

First of all, we must lay a firm foundation in God’s word and then we must address where the world and our faith are in conflict. For example, creation and evolution are in conflict but God’s word is clear. As a science teacher I have taught what the Bible says and how Creationism aligns with God’s word, but we still look at evolution through our Biblical world view lens and prayerfully prepare students wot apply the analytical thinking using the Bible as the basis when the world is at conflict with our faith. Recently in class we studied the life cycle of the stars. I had the students complete a web quest but also gave them sticky notes where they recorded things that they thought could be in conflict with what the Bible tells us. We then discussed these thoughts and each time went back to what we know based on God’s word and what we know from our science lesson.

ensure that all the spiritual basic are engrained, memorized, and understood in order for rebuttal. They needs to understand the way in which to make an argument (legal term) and back it up
