How do I lead my child spiritually?

Spiritual leadership as a parent isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about consistently living a life shaped by your relationship with God and inviting your child into that journey. This means praying with and for them, reading Scripture together, sharing how your faith shapes daily decisions, and allowing space for their questions and doubts without fear or shame. Deuteronomy 6 encourages parents to weave God’s truth into the rhythm of daily life—when walking, eating, and lying down—suggesting that spiritual formation is more about presence than perfection. Over time, it’s not just what you teach, but how you live that becomes the most powerful spiritual influence on your child.
