Show Notes
Summer camps can be incredible moments of growth, but how can we help faith become real when everyday life begins again?
In today’s episode, Anna talks with author and pastor Alistair Chalmers about how parents and carers can nurture the conversations, questions and moments that help faith last beyond the summer. Alistair offers some practical tips to help teenagers grow in faith in through the ordinary, everyday moments of life after a summer camp experience.
Alistair is Pastor of Ferniehill Evangelical Church and author of ‘Road Map to Jesus’ & ‘Living for Jesus’. He lives in Edinburgh with his wife and two daughters. Alistair blogs at www.achalmersblog.com.
