That sounds great. My oldest daughter is 17 and she and my son have had several years of bible quizzing as well. As well as years of living under my roof where we speak frankly and openly about the word.
My kids know enough about the Word of God to be critical thinkers... and know enough about the Spirit of God to not be critical people. I look forward to seeing them take part in studies.
But... I have also talked to them about when we expand to other families. They will need to make sure and keep a proper place among the adults there and speak when appropriate but save some stuff for family discussions later on.
