Raising Prayerful Kids

We know that prayer is important. We know praying for our kids is important. But what about teaching our kids how to pray by themselves?  I know for me, that has been one of the biggest challenges regarding prayer. I know how to pray FOR my kids, and I know how to pray WITH my kids. But my boys have been very resistant to praying on their own. 

We have a special guest on the show today who is going to share with us some creative ways to help kids learn how to pray.

Steph Thurling lives in Minnesota with her husband and three kids. She co-runs a ministry with her friend, Sarah Holmstrom, called Raising Prayerful Kids. She has her Master’s in Youth Family and Culture from Fuller Theological Seminary and worked in youth ministry for several years before deciding to stay home with her kids. Steph has a passion for helping parents teach their kids how to pray and loves sharing easy, life-giving, and fun ways to help kids experience God through prayer.
