Theology For Teens (Part V)
However, should this be the reason that we ought to shy away from theological education for teens? Not at all. Rather, it should be this very reason that we ought to educate them. For, when it comes to a point where their faith is questioned or challenged (especially during their college/university years), they either will not have an answer or they will be ready with one. Let us hope that it is the latter.
Coming back to how we should teach theology to teenagers, I would like to state again that one way to do it would be to first challenge them, but also at the same time point them toward the answers. We should always try to shy away from spoon feeding and emphasize the importance of thinking for oneself, but we must also be wary of the danger of leaving Christians to fend for their own.
