  Parent Talk: Gender, Identity, Sexuality Conversations

  Oct 4, 2026 · 18 min

  +

  Talking with our kids about gender, sexuality, and identity can feel intimidating. We may worry about saying too much, saying too little, or simply saying the wrong thing. But when our kids bring us questions, we don't have to panic. A question isn't an emergency. A question is an invitation to disciple them. 🌎 Start With God's Good Design Before talking about everything that's broken or confusing, give your kids a beautiful picture of what God created. ❤️ God made every person in His image. 🧍 God made our bodies, and our bodies are good gifts from Him. 👦👧 God made people male and female. 🤝 Men and women have equal dignity and value because both are made in God's image. 👑 Ultimately, we belong to God. 💬 Tell the Truth Simply Answer the question your child is actually asking, not every question you're afraid they might ask someday. 👂 Ask, "What made you wonder about that?" Then listen. 🧒 Give age-appropriate answers your child can understand today. 📖 Clearly explain what your family believes based on God's Word. ❤️ Speak about people who believe differently with kindness and dignity. 🚪 Ask, "Does that answer your question?" and leave room for them to come back with more.

  Anna and Matt follow Paul and Barnabas as they travel to Antioch sharing the good news about Jesus. Some people believe and others reject their message, but Paul and Barnabas keep going because they know the results belong to God. ⭐ What Kids Will Learn: 🌱 Paul’s job was to faithfully share the gospel, but only God could change someone’s heart and save them. 🗺️ Paul and Barnabas traveled to other places to tell people the good news about Jesus. ✝️ They taught that Jesus lived a perfect life, died for our sins, and rose from the dead. 🌎 The gospel isn’t only for one group of people. God’s rescue plan has always included people from every nation. ❤️ Both Jews and Gentiles believed the good news and became part of God’s family. ⛪ The church is everyone who loves and trusts Jesus. 📖 Bible Passage: Acts 14:27 🏡 Try This at Home: 💌 Make a card for someone you love and send it to them.

  Anna and Matt continue following the growth of the early church with the incredible story of Saul. Saul once hated the church and tried to stop people from following Jesus, but everything changed when Jesus met him on the road to Damascus. ⭐ What Kids Will Learn: ❤️ Saul had a heart sick with sin and did not believe that Jesus was God's Son. ⛓️ Saul tried to stop the church and even traveled to Damascus to arrest followers of Jesus. ✨ Jesus appeared to Saul on the road to Damascus and Saul became blind. 🙏 God sent Ananias to pray for Saul, even though Ananias was afraid of him. 🕊️ The Holy Spirit gave Saul a new heart that loved and trusted Jesus. 🌎 God chose Saul to take the good news about Jesus to people all over the world. 📖 Bible Passage: 📖 Acts 9:1–19 🏡 Try This at Home: 🙏 Think of someone you know who doesn't yet love and trust Jesus.

  Sep 13, 2026 · 22 min

  +

  Anna and Matt continue the story of the early church as Philip takes the good news about Jesus to Samaria. Kids will learn about Simon the Magician, who used tricks to make people think he was powerful, and discover that real, life-changing power belongs to God alone. ⭐ What Kids Will Learn: 🎩 A magician's tricks may look amazing, but they aren't the same as God's real power. 🌎 Philip shared the good news about Jesus with the Samaritans, even though Jewish people and Samaritans usually didn't get along. 🕊️ God gave the Holy Spirit to the Samaritan believers and showed that they were part of His family too. 💰 Simon tried to buy the power of the Holy Spirit, but God's power can never be bought. 👑 Only God is in charge of everything and has the power to save sinners and change hearts. 📖 Bible Passage: Acts 8:20 🏡 Try This at Home: 👟 Each morning when you put on your shoes, pause and pray: "God, You're in charge today, not me. Help me follow You and rely on Your Holy Spirit instead of trying to do things my own way." 📖 Read Acts 8 together and talk about the difference between Simon's tricks and God's real power. 💬 Ask your kids, "What is something you're tempted to

  Parent Talk: Is My Child Ready for Baptism?

  Sep 6, 2026 · 14 min

  +

  Anna and Matt help parents navigate one of the biggest questions that can come up when raising kids in the faith: How do I know if my child is ready for baptism? Children can genuinely love and trust Jesus, but parents also want wisdom to discern between a passing moment and lasting evidence of the Holy Spirit’s work. ❤️ The REAL Marks of Grace 🙏 R — Repentance Look for more than an “I’m sorry” after getting caught. Is your child beginning to recognize their own sin, confess it, and understand that they need Jesus to forgive them and change their heart? ❤️ E — Expressed Love for Christ Does your child talk about Jesus outside of church or family worship? Do they show a growing desire to read the Bible, pray, and know Jesus without always being prompted? 🌱 A — Active Fruit of the Spirit Look for growing evidence of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, especially in areas where your child has struggled before. The fruit won't be perfect, but is there real growth? 🏃 L — Lasting Perseverance Faith isn't only about an emotional moment. After correction, disappointment, or an ordinary day, does your child continue returning to Jes
