Amen! I’ve heard it said that the best way to learn wait a fake $20 bill looks like is to carefully study real ones. I agree with your take here — The best way to shepherd our children’s hearts away from false gospels or ideas is by continuously pointing them to the truth of the Gospel.
I also appreciate another point t you made, which is that we must be concerned to teach our children “how” to think and not just “what.” Reminds me of the sentiment found in giving a man a fish vs teaching him how to fish.
“the best way to learn *what* a fake $20 bill looks like…” Sorry for the typo above.

Those are two great connections, Drew! Thanks for sharing this encouragement and perspective.
