About this episode

This episode discusses how to help children experience a personal relationship with God beyond just learning Bible stories.

Teaching our kids Bible stories is important, but discipleship doesn't stop there. We also want our children to recognize God's guidance in their own stories, bring him into everyday conversations, and develop a genuine relationship with him that grows over time. In this episode, Bible teachers and co-authors Jen Weaver and Gayle Veitenheimer talk about helping kids move from simply knowing about God to experiencing life with Him. They discuss why stories are such powerful discipleship tools, how to answer kids' big questions about prayer and hearing God's voice, and simple ways parents can nurture faith at home. If you've ever wondered how to make faith feel more personal for your kids, this conversation is full of practical encouragement. Prefer video? Find this and other episodes on YouTube !
