UPDATED: How To Pray With Your Child | Ep. 113
Prayer is a meaningful faith practice that you probably want to pass on to your kids, but teaching your kids to pray may feel overwhelming. You may feel unsure how to answer your kid’s questions about prayer or how to incorporate regular prayer times with them into your daily life.

- practical tools you can use for how to pray with your child
- how to create moments of connection through blessing prayers
- ways to use the Bible to guide prayer with your kids
- common pitfalls parents experience when they try to teach their kids to pray (and what to do about them!)
