In this episode, we discuss...
1. Why do stories sometimes reach kids’ hearts in ways that direct instruction or a traditional Bible lesson doesn’t?
2. The way we talk about stories—including stories from the Bible—can accidentally train kids to search for the answer adults want instead of growing as curious thinkers. How can parents avoid that?
3. How can parents help their kids experience prayer as a natural response to what they are learning, noticing, and living—not only as something reserved for church, mealtimes, and bedtimes?
4. Why do some kids who grow up with regular Bible lessons still have little desire to read the Bible for themselves—and how can parents cultivate genuine interest?
