Episode notes

In this episode, Ed Drew has a chat with the expert Sandy Galea, the director of Kidswise. Her passion is to train children’s ministry leaders and parents - to equip and encourage them to speak God’s truth into the lives of children everywhere. She partners with churches by making the resources and programs developed for her own church, available on Kidswise. She has spent the last thirty years overseeing the kids ministry at her church, MBM (Multicultural Bible Ministry) - a multicultural, multi-site church. Sandy is a wife, mother and grandmother.

Listen in to Sandy's conversation with Ed to hear how you can learn from 30 years of her experience to help you be a better Christian parent and part of your church family - whether you are new to following Jesus as a parent or have experiences to offer, this episode is for you.

We have been thinking on the podcast recently about how we can rely on, Jesus, God with us in the mess and chaos of lockdown and doing homeschool. 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 hope this episode is an encouragement to you.

If this podcast encourages you as you disciple your kids, please do send this episode 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.

Purchase our New Book:
The 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.
