What Should I Do When My Teen Is Drawn To A False Belief System?

Episode 92

If your teenager expresses interest in a church or belief system that you believe teaches false doctrine or belongs to a false religion, it can make you feel alarmed, heartbroken, or even angry. But you have an opportunity to respond with wisdom, grace, and faith.

Prayer and God’s Word are the greatest resources we have to tap into when facing situations like this. You don’t have to let fear, worry, anger, or resentment drive a wedge in your relationship with your teen, or keep either of you from having a close relationship with God.

Our teens may not be the clingy littles we remember from not so long ago, but don’t be tempted to think that they need you any less. It is still vitally important for parents to stay engaged in the lives of teens as they grow older, and the time we have left with them in our home draws short. They are on a journey in their own faith, just like you once were, and you have the opportunity to help guide them with love, respect, and humility toward the Lord.
