Can you imagine a world where your teenagers not only want to go to church but find genuine value in their faith community? In this episode, we welcome Father Nathan Cromley, a Catholic priest who sheds light on the challenges parents and grandparents face with their children's resistance to faith. Father Nathan shares practical strategies to create a united parental front, empathize with the teenage perspective, and involve them in meaningful faith-building activities like youth groups and service projects. Discover how calm, thoughtful conversations can address deeper issues, enabling teens to appreciate the significance of their faith journey.

Ever thought of using everyday activities to elevate your family's spiritual experience? Explore how integrating simple practices like listening to classical music, walking in nature, or visiting art museums can deepen your family's connection with God. Father Nathan and I discuss how these enriching activities can instill values of aspiration and excellence in young minds. Through compelling personal anecdotes and cultural examples, we highlight how elevating beauty and goodness can guide children towards a profound, meaningful relationship with God.

Finally, we emphasize the importance of taking back Sundays as a true day of rest and family connection. Instead of putting in a few hours of needless work, honoring Sabbath rest and prioritizing personal connection pays huge dividends when it comes to passing on the faith. Engaging in simple, hands-on activities like knitting or watching thunderstorms can build strong family bonds and create opportunities to share faith in relatable ways. Learn how demonstrating forgiveness and generosity in everyday moments teaches children the values of kindness and compassion. By involving kids in family giving and integrating faith into daily routines, parents can become a bridge to God, nurturing a strong, faith-filled family culture.
