What I have learned over the last four years is to be creative with prayer! Almost every test I gave has a bonus question about faith formation and prayer. The students answer that they have grown closer to God through the interactive prayers of our classroom. They learned new ways to pray and how to laugh and have fun while praying. They also write about how intimate guided meditations are to them. That they have never before encountered God in the way that they do for this type of prayer. My overall theme in teaching theology has been to form their faith. We need to be creative and change it up. These are not teens in our generation they need to be challenged in new and innovative ways to reach God.
