“I Can Wonder About the Bible” with Dr. Emily McGowin

Today’s Episode

We all have some sense that “reading the Bible” is important and something that we *should* be doing in our homes. But what happens when we actually read the Bible? How can we handle the difficult topics contained in Scripture and what should we do with the tricky questions it raises for our kids (and for us too!)?

This week, we hear what real kids have to say about the Bible, reflect on how reading the Bible with our kids might actually help us grow, and talk about the practical challenges of actually reading the Bible as a family.
