Helping teens grow spiritually isn’t just about Sunday morning—it's a daily walk that starts at home. As a parent, you have a unique opportunity to create meaningful moments that help shape your teen’s faith journey.
1. Make Devotionals a Family Thing
Set aside one or two days a week for family devotionals. Keep it simple—read a short passage, talk about how it applies to daily life, and pray together. Your consistency speaks volumes.
2. Ask Open-Ended Questions
“What did that verse mean to you?” or “Have you ever felt like God was speaking to you?” These kinds of questions help your teen think deeply and take ownership of their faith walk.
3. Share Your Faith Story
Let them see your walk with God—the ups, the downs, and how you trust Him. Being transparent invites your teen to see faith as real, not just a set of rules to follow.
4. Equip Them with Resources
Introduce devotionals, podcasts, or Christian YouTubers they can relate to. Help them explore how faith intersects with their interests, challenges, and dreams.
5. Pray Over and With Them
Prayer isn’t just powerful—it’s personal. Whether it’s before school or bedtime, those moments of prayer can speak louder than words, reminding them they’re covered and cared for.
Your teen’s faith won’t grow in one day, but your daily seeds of love, truth, and consistency can build something unshakable. Keep planting, praying, and walking with them in grace.
