Audio: Built to be Shook: Resilient Faith Formation from the Very Beginning (Erin Cooper)
What if the infants born into your community this year could build a faith that never needs to be torn down? In this interactive session designed for faith leaders, youth leaders, and progressive ministers, we’ll explore what it means to nurture a faith so deeply rooted in wonder, trust, and resilience that it grows with the child—rather than crumbling under future questioning.
We’ll dive into the crucial (and often overlooked) work of early childhood faith formation, both within the congregation and at home. Together, we’ll consider how the unique gifts of early childhood—curiosity, awe, wonder—can be the foundation for a lifelong, unshakeable spirituality. Come ready to reimagine faith development with an eye toward a future where deconstruction isn’t the first step—but where enduring faith begins at birth.
