The whole goal in getting your teenager to go to church is to foster an open environment where they can explore their spirituality
In this episode of 'Healing Courageously', the hosts tackle the tricky subject of church and family dynamics. Staci F. raises an important question: How can parents encourage teenagers who have no interest in going to church or believing in God, without pushing them away? Teaka also voices concerns about adult children living at home and their spiritual engagement. The hosts share practical advice on maintaining a delicate balance of respect, patience, and understanding.
They emphasise the importance of leading by example and fostering an open environment where children can explore their spirituality. Authenticity is key - teenagers can easily spot insincerity. The episode also highlights the significance of respecting their autonomy and avoiding pressure, which can create resistance. Instead, engaging in open conversations about faith and listening actively to their thoughts and doubts can build trust and curiosity.
The hosts remind us that showing love and support through actions can have a lasting impact on children's faith journeys. This episode is a must-listen for parents struggling with these common challenges, offering hope and guidance on creating a Christ-centred home.
