Are you teaching facts or faith?

In this episode of Playfully Faithful Parenting, we dive into the important distinction between teaching kids Biblical facts and nurturing their faith. Through my experience as a mother, children's minister, and seminary graduate, I explore how simple questions, like the number of loaves and fishes, might build knowledge but not necessarily foster a deep, personal relationship with God. I share insights from language learning and ministry to illustrate how we can move beyond memorization to encourage our children to truly engage with and wonder about Bible stories. Join me as I discuss how to inspire your kids to grow in their faith through curiosity and relationships, and make faith a playful, heartfelt journey.

You’ve got the Holy Spirit! You can do it, mama!
