6 Simple Steps in Guiding Your Teen through Studying Scripture

The teen years can be a great challenge in cultivating spiritual growth or spiritual maturity in your teen. Some teens seem to put up a fight with regard to going to church, youth group or doing their own independent Bible study, while others seem to be self-motivated.  There can be benefits to asking a resistant teen why they lack interest just to see if there is a way to make things more bearable and meaningful for them. However, sometimes a parent just has to be the parent and insist that so long as their teens are living under their roof, they must attend church and youth group and participate in a short study with Mom and/or Dad if they aren’t going to study on their own. Hopefully, though, having the right approach motivates them. Here are 6 steps you can follow when guiding your teen through studying Scripture.Photo credit: ©GettyImages/Thai Noipho
