Faith in Kids

We’re reading someone else’s mail! But it’s okay. James, Jesus’s brother, wrote it for Christians all over the world. That’s us! And our listeners are from all over the world. So we’re  looking at what it means to belong to God and NOT to the world! This is a hard one. But we’ve also got a story about Hachiko the most loyal dog in the world, and Jam reveals what he could eat every single day! And more from our pirates. Have they deserted? And In Christ from Awesome Cutlery. SING ALONG HERE

This is the second episode in our Faith in Parents series on talking through the hardest topics – the conversations we’re often told to avoid. In this episode, Ed and Amy are joined by Dawn McAvoy (Both Lives) to talk about the value of life, pregnancy and abortion. 
Their conversation covers questions such as: 
•How can we talk about the value of life with our youngest children?
•How do we talk to our children about abortion appropriately and carefully?
•How do we do it in a way that reflects the goodness, compassion, and hope of the Christian story?  
This episode helps parents see that talking about abortion doesn’t begin with arguments or politics, but with wonder relationship and community. It will encourage parents that we have a story that is better and more hopeful than the stories our children will hear elsewhere.
Dawn McAvoy leads Both Lives, a UK wide initiative of the Evangelical Alliance. Both Lives advocates for both lives; every woman and every unborn in pregnancy. Both Lives champions laws that protect, services that enable and a culture that affirms women and children pre and post birth.

Tongue Twisters! Tigers! Lions! Bears! Giraffes! And chameleons! Oh my! It’s all happening as we discover the amazing power of the tongue from James 3:2-12. Just don’t use yours when a policeman wants to see some ID. And there’s chaos on the pirate ship when the first mate takes the wheel. Plus another chance to hear our brand new song by Dumb Rocks!

How do you keep warm in Antarctica? Or Alaska? Can you get your blood freeze so you can sleep through the winter? Jesus made frogs that can do exactly that! Ed and Jam are looking at James 2:14-26 and finding out the cost of faith and love. And Captain Fakebeard might have to surrender some secret donuts. Oh, and we’ve got a BRAND NEW song written just for this series! You can watch and singalong to the new Living Faith song by Dumbrocks on YouTube:

We’re kicking off a new Faith in Parents series on the hardest topics parents face - the conversations we’re often told to avoid. In this first episode, we talk about illness.
Jason shares his family’s story of unexpected premature birth, long months in NICU, and years of medical uncertainty... and what it’s like to keep trusting Jesus when there’s no quick fix or clear end in sight. Together, we reflect on crisis, perseverance, prayer that changes over time, and how to talk honestly with our children when life is scary and unfair.
This is a gentle, hopeful conversation for parents in the thick of it (and for those walking alongside them), reminding us that God is near, even when the questions are loud and the answers feel far away.

Jason is the Digital Lead at Faith in Kids and Co-Hosts The Parenting Tools Podcast
