How Do We Talk to Our Adult Children About Faith?

Last updated on: August 10, 2023 at 10:40 am By Theresa Siller

Faith Conversations with Our Young Adult Children We raised our little ones with Faith. But as our daughters have grown up and embarked on their own adult lives in other states, I miss having more opportunities to casually talk with them about God. Adulting is hard, and keeps twentysomethings so jam-packed, that they rarely have a moment to even ponder God. I never want to be that mother who seems proselytizing, forceful, or judgmental about my children’s faith practice, or... Read more

What Are 3 Things Some Christians Do Wrong? Do some Christians act judgmental, exclusive, or downright mean? Sadly, yes. Jesus must shake His head in sadness when this happens. One of my favorite pastors recently wrote a daily devotional about the top, most google-searched negative traits about Christians, and it inspired this article. Christians cannot spread the Good News if they are not good examples! They are talking the talk, but not walking the walk! I realize I have plenty... Read more
