Bringing up spiritual topics with teens can be challenging. But if you’re a youth leader or parent, it’s in your job description! Talking about faith shouldn’t feel intimidating. 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 to ask youth about faith.
Adapt these questions for your teens and for specific situations. They 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 to ask youth about faith. Then be sure to add more suggestions in the comments below!
