Identify one or two ways you can help prepare your students for attacks on their Christian faith.
-
We can analyze current events and news stories and indicate when we see Biblical worldviews and when we see non-Biblical worldviews, and be able to name the deceptions of the world.
-
We can teach them that the world is opposed in many ways to the teaching of Christ.
Instruct them to be prepared to give an answer of the hope that k is within them.
Remind them that in defending their faith, not argue or become combative. But at the same time, we need not send them out as sheep among wolves insulating them from this truth that their faith will be attacked. Is the best way to prepare them for a worldview that often is not in lock step with our beliefs as Christians.

I think it is important for students to know what they are saying when they say they are a Christian. I think that by preparing them with specific Scriptures, we can prepare them to know what it means to be a Christian and what they believe, so that the faith becomes personal to them. I also think it is important to discuss what the world believes and how it challenges Christianity, so that they are aware of the schools of thoughts out there and can begin to prepare Scripture to refute those arguments.

By being aware of the shifting worldview, evaluating traditions, and responding with grace and love, Christian educators can help students develop a strong foundation in their faith while engaging with the world around them.

Again we journal prompts and class discussion is a method that I have used. We look at current events and discuss the and apply the scriptures to how we ought to respond and practically apply Gods word to our daily lives.
