In this episode we will explore the topic of teens and spirituality. At NewChurch Live we are anchored by the theology of the NewChurch. The Academy of the New Church Secondary Schools (ANC) is a high school based on that theology. In this episode we interview staff and students to discuss the topic of teens and spirituality, an area to which ANC is very much paving the way. At ANC they believe spirituality and education are not two separate entities, they are interconnected in ways that inspire and prepare young people for principled and useful lives in this world and the next.

Spiritual connection through prayer is how we build, maintain, and enrich our relationship with God. Prayer is not asking for something, but acknowledging the presence of God with us, in any and every situation. It is the means by which we learn to lean into the truth, rather than our own understanding and conclusions.

When we say a prayer for gratitude, thankfulness can become the greatest happiness. Think back and remember the last time you truly wanted to say “thank you” to someone - not because you felt like it was the polite thing to do, but because your heart was really moved by gratitude for the thing they had done. Now imagine what it would be like to feel the same way about life itself.

We rarely talk about aging with positive messaging. How then do we work towards finding gratitude as we age? It comes over time by shifting our thoughts from complaint to gratitude. Life and our circumstances may not "get better", but we simply learn to get better at accepting life.
