6. Spiritual Reflection
Teens need time to pause, reflect, and listen to God. So build moments of quiet reflection and connection into gatherings. Times of stillness are rare in busy lives, but they’re crucial for hearing God’s voice. Encourage kids to ask, “God, what are you saying to me?” or “How can I grow closer to you?”
Activity Idea: Organize a night for focused prayer and Scripture reading. Set up stations with Bible verses, journaling prompts, and suggestions for silent prayer. Afterward, invite kids to share their experiences or insights.
