This post shares a powerful lesson on prayer learned during a simple bug hunt with young children. After failing to find any insects on a cold Spring day in South Korea, the author felt prompted to pray with her kids. Moments later, God surprised them with a tree full of ladybugs, showing that He cares about even the smallest requests. The story encourages families to pray boldly, trust God with every detail, and teach children that God can do more than we ask or imagine.

This post uses the experience of hiking as a powerful picture of the spiritual journey. Just like a steep trail that feels painful and endless, seasons of suffering often feel impossible to climb. Yet God uses these uphill battles to build perseverance, deepen character, and eventually reveal breathtaking beauty we couldn’t see before. The message encourages readers to trust God’s faithfulness even when the path is unclear and to remember that His plans are always greater than our own. It closes with Scriptures on perseverance and a family activity to teach kids how trials grow spiritual strength.

This post reflects on the unique Fourth of July of 2020 and highlights the powerful connection between physical freedom and spiritual freedom. It honors the sacrifices made by military families and service members while also pointing to the far greater sacrifice Jesus made to give us eternal freedom. The author then shares three simple, kid-friendly Fourth of July crafts that parents can do at home, using each activity as a chance to talk with their children about liberty, sacrifice, and the hope found in Christ.

A reminder that Father’s Day shouldn’t only honor earthly dads—we should also celebrate our Heavenly Father, our “Abba.” God adopts us into His family through Christ and loves us with perfect, intimate care. The best gift we can give Him is sharing the Gospel with our kids in everyday moments and keeping our home centered on Him.

Jacob’s story in Genesis 28 shows that God often meets us most powerfully in our hardest seasons. Just as Jacob encountered God while sleeping on a rock in a desolate place, our own “rock and hard place” moments can become holy ground where God reveals His presence, guidance, and faithfulness. Hardship doesn’t mean God is absent—often, it’s where He does His deepest work.

In a world filled with injustice, chaos, and pain, this reflection reminds us that life is not fair and that is actually the beauty of the Gospel. Our sin earns eternal separation from God, yet His grace offers us life through Jesus. As we face national tension and racial brokenness, we are called to check our own hearts, pursue reconciliation, speak up for others, and root our hope in the mercy of Christ.

A hands on activity that lets kids act out the story of Abraham and Isaac from the Jesus Storybook Bible. Children build the altar, role play the sacrifice, and learn how God provides exactly what we need. The lesson points to Jesus as the real gift God gave to rescue us.

A reflective look at Exodus 32 showing how quickly we forget Gods faithfulness and try to take control when we are tired of waiting. Just like the Israelites who made the golden calf, we often replace trust in God with self reliance. The post encourages readers to stay in the waiting room and let the Great Physician work instead of grabbing the scalpel ourselves.

This post gives simple, fun ways for parents to act out three Jesus Storybook Bible lessons with their kids.

Kids get to build, pretend, move, and interact while learning who God is and how He keeps His promises.
