About this episode
Today, Mark Gregston shares a devotional from Matthew 7:7, as he emphasizes the power of asking questions as a means of deepening our connection with our teens. Rather than lecturing or interrogating, parents are encouraged to engage their children through thoughtful, nonjudgmental inquiry — asking, seeking and knocking to access their hearts and minds. Questions help teens feel valued, spark critical thinking and lead them on a personal journey of discovery. In an age full of noise, curiosity and listening can be powerful tools for relational growth and lasting influence.
