I saw Reese’s Peanut Butter eggs on the supermarket shelf this week, and it can mean only one thing: Easter approaches! Granted, its approach is heralded really early this year, but it’s never too early to discuss the resurrection of Jesus with our kids. Fortunately, the “Minimal Facts” approach is a fantastic starting point for…

If you’re like us, you like free stuff and you like to talk about things like “Evolution vs. Creation”, “Young earth vs. Old Earth” and “Theistic Evolution vs. Intelligent Design.” Is that you? If so, you’re in luck, because we have a presentation for you!

Memorizing scripture is an important part of helping children understand and own their faith in God and the Bible. Along with apologetics, scripture reading and memorization are essential for solid foundations. Are you ready to dive in?

I like to ask the incoming first graders for their biggest, hardest question about God. That gives us the…

They’re also (often) the keepers of our schedule, the collectors of our thoughts, and the consumers of our time. Let’s be good stewards of the smart! In the interest of using our resources wisely, I’ve compiled a list…
