I work with a youth group at my church and there are often parents who try and push their faith on their teens. I really like how you pointed out that they need to "Do it". If we want our teens to believe and understand what we value, then we need to model it. If I truly believe what I believe it will show in my every day life and the people around me will want to learn about it. I also agree that we should be tolerant of other religions and faiths but we shouldn't be afraid to also communicate to our children what we value :) Thanks so much! Really enjoyed this post.
