Asking questions about faith and spiritual topics can feel intimidating. But if you’re a youth leader or parent, that’s part of your job description! Talking about faith shouldn’t be a challenge. Instead, make it part of everyday conversations, ideally beginning when kids are young.
To assist with this essential task, we’ve compiled a bunch of questions about faith to ask youth. Adapt these questions for your teens and for specific situations. The questions work for youth group gatherings, small-group meetings, icebreakers, teen retreats, one-on-one discussions, car rides, mealtime, and much more.
Check out all these questions about faith. Then be sure to add more suggestions in the comments below!
