Digital Discipleship: Teaching Kids to Share Faith Online

Written By Layne McDonald

Bible Verse: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16

The Digital Mission Field

According to a Pew Research Center study, 95% of teens have access to smartphones, and 60% of them use social media daily. Digital spaces are now mission fields, but are our kids equipped to share their faith online responsibly?

Steps to Digital Discipleship

  1. Teach Online Integrity: Words and posts should reflect Christ.

  2. Encourage Faith Sharing: Share Bible verses, Christian music, or devotionals.

  3. Follow Positive Christian Influencers: Help them find role models online.

  4. Have Digital Detox Days: Offline time refuels faith and clarity.

Alternative Tools & Resources

  • Bible App by YouVersion: Shareable daily devotionals.

  • Axis.org: Parent guides for discussing online behavior with teens.

  • The Gospel Coalition Youth Articles: Relevant resources for teens.
