5 Ways to Help Your Teen Develop Good Bible Study HabitsSample

Habit stacking

I’ve recently heard of the “habit stacking" concept. It’s when you take an existing habit (like brushing your teeth) and add another habit.

Let’s face it: few teenagers will wake up early to read their Bible, but we can help them build lasting habits of being in God’s Word throughout the day by habit stacking.

For example, have your teen select a verse to memorize and write it on a notecard. Tape the notecard to their bathroom mirror, where they can read it and practice reciting it while they brush their teeth.

This can work for more time-consuming habits, such as praying for friends while they drive to school or listening to books of the Bible while completing household chores.
