Milestones of a Child's Faith- Part 1
Jul 30, 2026 Season 2 Episode 67
Luis Miranda and Nathan Deck

We share a practical roadmap for family discipleship that replaces spiritual guesswork with intentional milestones you can notice, talk about, and celebrate. We walk through the first four legacy milestones and show how to build daily rhythms that help your child grow into an adult who follows Jesus with real ownership. 


• spiritual formation as intentional parenting rather than outsourcing to church programs 
• legacy milestones as a simple framework for tracking spiritual growth over time 
• parent and child dedication as training parents to start daily faith talks early 
• Deuteronomy 6 as a model for everyday gospel conversations 
• guiding a child toward a profession of faith with clarity and trust 
• celebrating baptism as a public marker of a private step of faith 
• preparing for adolescence by framing body changes as God’s good design 
• building a strong parent-child bridge for hard questions and fears 
• purity for life as gospel-centered integrity rather than rule-centered legalism 
• using symbols as reminders rather than guarantees
