Giving our kids words for their faith through liturgical prayer with Doug McKelvey
About this episode
Doug McKelvey discusses the importance of liturgical prayer in helping children articulate their faith as they transition to adulthood.
In this episode, Doug McKelvey shares how prayer and liturgy can become powerful tools for discipling kids through all of life’s stages, but specifically the transition to adulthood. We talk about the value of written prayers alongside spontaneous prayer, how ancient rhythms can help reorient our hearts in a noisy world, and why giving our kids words for their faith matters more than we might realize. We also discuss the challenge of releasing control as parents and learning to trust God with our children’s stories in every season. Doug is the author of the Every Moment Holy series, including his newest book, Rites of Passage , which offers liturgies designed to support young adults as they navigate life, identity, and faith.
