S10E4: Helping our Kids Love the Bible (Trillia Newbell)

Surveys suggest that younger generations of Christians are not reading the Bible regularly. It’s a complicated book, full of tricky bits and things which might seem culturally wrong to our 21st century ears. So how can we encourage our kids not only to read it but to grow to love it? Today’s guest, Trillia Newbell, shares helpful thoughts for us all, whether we have babies, teens or anything in between. She is the author of many books for children and adults including God’s Very Good Idea and The Big Bide Welcome. When she isn’t writing, she’s encouraging and supporting other writers as the Acquisitions Director at Moody Publishers. Trillia is married to her best friend, Thern, they reside with their two children near Nashville, Tennessee.
