Conversation is one of the most important foundational pieces of relationships. We learn about one another, build each other up, offer support, and deepen our connections as we share our thoughts, ideas, and beliefs.

So, what can we do to have healthy conversations with our teens?

When we think about making a lasting impact in the lives of the children we serve, one of the ways we can do this is through meaningful connections and conversations.

Throughout the whole of the Bible, we see how important relationships are to God. He created us to be in relationship with Him as well as relationship with others. Our most formative relationships are within the family. In order to have healthy relationships, we need to have healthy communication, which means we need to be able to have healthy conversations.

While we continue to deepen our own relationship with Jesus in front of our kids, we will find many opportunities to model things a disciple does and teach them what we’re learning. It’s in “along the way” places where we put our faith into practice.
