You don’t need a theology degree to help your kids understand the Bible. But you do need the right strategies. In this episode, Brett and Erin share some of the practical background questions parents can use at home to help their kids go deeper during family Bible time, followed by a recent sermon Brett gave that highlights what it looks like to apply these strategies in real study. These foundational tools will help you encourage your kids in their ability to think carefully about what Scripture is actually communicating.
