What should parents do when teens begin questioning faith, church or even God Himself? In this episode, Mark, Wayne and Heartlight Counselor Courtney LaFleur discuss why doubt and questioning are often a normal part of spiritual growth during adolescence. Rather than responding with fear or control, parents are encouraged to stay relational, listen well and model authentic faith through their actions. You’ll also hear Caleb’s honest story of wrestling with spirituality, family relationships, identity and learning how to accept love.
Understanding how to ease your teen into taking ownership of their faith can help set them on the path to success. Learn more here: bit.ly/giving-teens-ownership-of-their-faith
