How to Make the Bible Come Alive for Our Children :: Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright [EP41]

The Bible is the most important book in history. In this week’s episode, Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright talks about how to make the Bible come alive to our children. She shares how she presented her daughter with the Gospel from the moment she was born and talks about Bible stories with her children at all times.  “I try to always tell them stories. I wanted it to be relevant all the time and not just reading it during one set time.”Playing fun games to focus children on Bible stories and characters grows their interest. It also gets children to learn different people and different places highlighted in the Bible. Rachel-Ruth shares her experience of playing Bible charades with her children to ensure her children stay in their Word and live it out.“Making the Bible come alive to your children is so important. If you’re dead about the Bible and you don’t know those stories then your kids will be that way too. The key is to have it in your own heart.”Helping children to uncover the Bible’s big ideas and good values only encourages children to see that God is interested in their personal development. “If my kids did something wrong, I will try to talk them through. I always try to present the Bible in a positive light so they don’t have a negative view of scripture or of the Lord.”What we chat aboutWays of telling Bible storiesInstilling scripture in the dark days aheadUncovering big ideas and applying to lifeGraceBeing transparent with children
