According to Barna findings, 3 out of 4 teenagers have engaged in at least one type of psychic or witchcraft-related activity. The same study found that fewer than 3 out of every 10 churched teenagers had received any teaching from their church about elements of the supernatural.

As Christian parents, it is our shared responsibility to raise up our girls in the light of Christ and guard them from the harmful occult. Galatians warns us against the acts of the flesh, including witchcraft, that will prevent humanity from entering the Kingdom of God.

Using Ouija boards, exploring Wiccan ideology, and seeking out “professional” fortune-telling are among the most common ways teens are trying to tap into the supernatural. Take the time to read Scripture with your daughter, and remind her that there is no one more powerful than the Lord our God.
