We learned the wrong lesson from Martin Harris

In the course of studying Matthew, we came across the story of the woman who begged to have her daughter healed.

But in my experience there's a lot more to a successful inoculation than the institutional pedagogy children encounter at church. Everyday family life fosters or hinders a child's spiritual growth than any Sunday manual ever could.
