The stage of faith accompanies an individuals experience of the world that is now beyond the family unit, and must provide a helpful understanding of this extended environment. At this stage, individuals generally conform to the beliefs of those around them, because they have not yet reflected or studied these beliefs objectively. Thus, beliefs and values of teens are often held tacitly. Providing spiritual care to others on a certain stage can be difficult. There are stages where I havent been in specifically conjunctive faith and universalizing stage but I can provide spiritual care by being familiar with their background and in what stage they are in. Through this, I can apply spiritual care depending on their understanding and what stage they belong in.
