Learning Through Story
Kids benefit greatly from hearing stories, so it’s important that stories teach. If we can use the stories and concepts from the Bible to teach children about sanctification, the information will be better retained. Research shows that when we can tie valuable lessons to stories, we can better understand and apply the principles more often.
“Saved! Now What?” is written for elementary aged children, but the principles and activities can be used across age groups. It’s simple, Biblical, and to the point. Younger kids can do this with parents, while older kids can read on their own. In episode 79, we go into detail on ways to use this in your household during different life stages.
