Many of us have heard the instructions when flying that if the cabin pressure changes and the air masks descend, adults put your own oxygen mask on first then help the child next to you. The same applies in matters of faith and spirituality, as the adults in the lives of children and young adults.

Hopefully these ideas will spark curiosity and inspiration in you.
