Faith in Kids Faith in Parents #54 | Struggling in Lockdown
Ed and Amy chat with the mum of seven, Louise, to help us think about how lockdown is really going... and what we can do about it. We have been thinking on the podcast recently about how we can rely on Emmanuel, Jesus, God with us in the mess and chaos. How to keep this message strong within our families is often a struggle, if ever it's been tricky, it certainly is in lockdown. We hear some honest experiences of life in lockdown (part 3, according to Amy, the third one never has such a good story), as well as some encouragements and with a few laughs along the way. If this encourages you as you disciple your kids, please do send this podcast on to a parent you think would appreciate it - maybe drop it into a WhatsApp group for your churches mums/dads/carers group with something you found encouraging from the episode.
Read the John Newton letter Ed refers to here.
This new book Meals with Jesus from Faith in Kids in partnership with The Good Book Company can be ordered here. We'll be troubleshooting your honest questions about hosting family Bible times over the next few months so we invite you to have a go now as we struggle on through lockdown while supporting the Faith in Kids ministry.
If you missed our 'Christmas Bake Along' video, it's not too late to watch it or send it to a friend, godchild, neighbour, church WhatsApp group or small alien you have met someplace. The video with Martha Collison and Ed Drew making a gingerbread nativity and talking about 'God with Us' can be found on the Faith in Kids Youtube channel here.
If you have any questions or comments, please get in touch with us at podcast@faithinkids.org. We won't read out your emails on the podcast if you don't want us to, but we'd love to hear your stories and feedback. Particularly any questions you have about family Bible times, let us know how you get on or what's not working for you and we will endeavour to answer your questions!
Genuinely, we love hearing from folks and helps us feel less like we are posting into the void - do send us a friendly hello, it might just make our day!
