#1129: H.E.A.R. the Word

Here’s an idea for studying the Bible with your teenage son.

First, find a simple Bible reading plan online. Each day, you and your son read the passage together or own your own.

Then, after reading the passage, go through the H.E.A.R. acronym.  This was created by Pastor Robbie Gallaty.

H stands for– Highlight a verse that stands out
E— Explain what this verse means
A— Apply this to your  life
And R— Respond to God’s Word.

Pastor Robbie says he created this acronym to eliminate many of the excuses people give for not understanding God’s word. It’s also an excellent catalyst for sparking spiritual conversations between you and your son. Pray about giving the H.E.A.R method a try.
