Rebecca grew up in a Christian home and trusted Jesus at a very young age. But the teenage years brought doubt and turmoil to that budding faith. Maybe Rebecca’s story sounds familiar to you!

As Rebecca got older, doubts started nagging at the back of her mind. Those questions, along with an attitude from her parents that she described as “judgmental,” led her to conclude that this whole faith thing, was actually bogus.

That’s a conclusion no parent ever wants to hear from their child. But Rebecca’s story is all too common among teens today.

Ultimately, God is the one who will plant the seeds of lasting faith in our children’s lives. As their parents, we can still do our best to prepare the soil by being constant sources of love and support.
