Erikson’s 8 Stages & Faith: Why Intergenerational Communication Matters in Religious Education

Описание: Life is more than just the passing of years; it is a profound and long journey where every age adds a new meaning and the soul matures step by step. When we look through the lens of Erikson’s theory, we see that every stage—from the very first sense of trust in infancy to the peaceful wisdom of old age—leaves a unique mark on our world of faith.
In this video, we explore the eight stops of human development from a spiritual perspective. We discover how that innocent sense of "Basic Trust" in a baby’s heart can blossom into an unwavering faith in adulthood, and how religion and ideals provide a safe harbor during the adolescent's search for identity.
Our growth does not happen in isolation; it flourishes through the invisible, sacred bonds between generations. While children and youth look for trusted role models to guide them, the elderly find deep peace in sharing their lifelong experiences with young hearts, achieving what Erikson calls "Ego Integrity."
In this beautiful cycle of life—where generations mirror one another and the energy of youth blends with the wisdom of the elders—religious education becomes more than just a transfer of information. It becomes a "bond of the heart."
You are invited to a spiritual journey woven with love and trust, where people of every age act as a light for one another’s growth. Let’s explore the unique spark within every stage of life and discover how intergenerational connection nourishes our souls.
