“Kids ultimately grow up and make their own decisions, especially when
it comes to spirituality. As parents, we cannot control the outcome or
guarantee that they make good decisions in life. The best we can do for them is
to give them Jesus and help them connect to God.” - Jen hatmaker Bible

Choose a
perfect church for your kid(s).

create a ripple effect in their child’s spiritual life. But that’s not really
true. You need to look for the one that can help in flourishing faith in your

for kids and teens. These types of churches also have pastors with whom kids
can converse and clear their doubts.

public places were closed, these online services helped its members to keep up
with their religious routine. So, now you can teach the kids christian values, and
they can listen to the sermons sitting at home. Isn’t that amazing? Now, they
can attend the church even if they are sick or don’t feel like going out of the
house.

Tell spiritual
stories interestingly.
Most kids lose interest in sermons because they find them boring
and uninteresting. Then the best way to make things interesting is to tell them
about God in the form of fables and stories. As you all know, these stories and podcasts are filled
with moral values, and children tend to develop kindness, empathy, and
compassion for humans and other living beings.
For example, you can tell them about Jesus’ crucifixion and
resurrection and how he ended up forgiving his torturers. This story tells that
there is much more in life than revenge and anger.
Such stories are filled with teachings and tell the kids that
life has a purpose, and everyone needs to overcome their petty issues and
contribute to making a better world.
Final words!
Apart from this, you can also keep your kids engaged in various
church and spiritual activities. Make them listen to online sermons and let
them clear their doubts from the experts.
Now that you know how you can nurture your child’s spirituality
make sure you help them connect to God and maintain a healthy relationship with
the supreme power. Amen!
