Addressing Children's Engagement with the Bible

A child expressing disinterest in reading the Bible due to its perceived boredom and confusion highlights a common challenge. It's crucial to acknowledge that some biblical texts can indeed be unengaging, especially for those who do not grasp the historical context. Using analogies, such as the necessity of eating vegetables for health, can help illustrate to children that not all beneficial things are immediately enjoyable. Encouraging children to persevere through complex readings fosters resilience and understanding that the rewards of such effort can emerge later in life.
