How to Help Your Child Learn the Bible

Do you want your child to learn the Bible but feel like when you open its pages you don't know how to communicate God's Word on their level? I admit that it definitely felt complicated at times for me. It never looked all perfect and put together like I wish it would have or like it seemed like all the other super moms were doing. In real life, it looked like missing a day and still picking the Bible up the next. It looked like sitting down together in the living room, starting our “God time” as a family, and then ending up having to repeat ourselves five times because someone wasn’t listening.

But that didn’t stop us. We took advantage of the day in and day out pockets of time to read another Verse, discuss another life lesson, or learn what was actually going on in a particular Bible story. The moments add up, friend.  Teaching our children God’s Word is a privilege. We have the opportunity to prepare them for life by equipping them to turn to Him when life gets tough.

This is why I am always eager to share when I find a Bible that helps your child understand God's Word on their level and the NLT GO Bible for Kids is perfect! The GO Bible is bursting with fun and engaging content to help kids explore God’s Word and go share it with others. Paired with the accurate, easy-to-read New Living Translation, this kids’ Bible plants seeds of faith and share the life-changing love of God with kids through over 600 features centered on the theme of transformation.

Some of my favorite Bibles over the years were Bibles that incorporated learning applicable to kids within the pages. Whether it was a coloring page, an illustration, a numbered list etc. it was a fun and interactive way for them to learn and understand Scripture.

The moments we spend teaching our children more about God add up. Although it may seem like there isn’t enough time to fit Bible study in, I think there are many more opportunities than we realize. Training or teaching your child doesn’t have to feel like a burden (I know it’s not always easy). It can be fun, informative, and simple. More than just information, I pray it leads to real and lasting transformation.

I’m cheering for you!
