It’s no secret, I would love to be a mum! I don’t know if it’s in God’s plan for me – that’s another story for another day – but I am an auntie. This gives me the privilege of being able to talk to my niece and nephews about God. But to be honest, most of the time I feel like I waste that privilege…. do you ever wonder: ‘Are my non-parent friends even interested in my kids’ spiritual lives? If so, how can I encourage that in an appropriate way?’

Over the years, I’ve come across several anecdotal versions of ‘spiritual styles’ but last year, while writing Next Steps to Following Jesus with Shell Perris, I stumbled across David M. Csinos’s academic research while listening to Ronni Lamont on UCB Radio. I was intrigued because Shell and I had decided to add different ‘pathways’ for children to respond to the Bible text, based on different personalities or learning styles.
