Faith in Kids

How can we cultivate thankful homes and hearts? Maybe Harvest festival can kick this process of helping us to form helpful habits which point us to the Lord Jesus Christ. Amy has a few ideas - including Conker Bunting - but Jam's idea might be the weirdest. Judge for yourself. Join Ed, Amy and Jam and singing along with us as 'We plough the fields and scatter.'

As kids go back to school, there's a lot of uncertainty and anxiety around. And that's the just parents. Ed, Amy and Jam talk about how can we think biblically about sending children back to school after such a long time away - and for some this is the first time and the concerns have never been higher. So who is in your bubble? That would be Jesus, and He is all we need.If you have any questions or comments, please get in touch with us at podcast@faithinkids.org.

Ed can't sing, but that doesn't stop him doing it - because we were made to sing God's praises - and other songs that are hard to recognise when Josh sings them. Ed is challenged to pick out six different instruments, some of which he'd never heard of, and one which might explode.

Ed talks to Steve Midgley (Senior Minister of Christ Church Cambridge) about teenage years when our children's independence is expressed, their preferred lifestyle is being explored and their personal values are now being owned. This is all normal and healthy but it can lead to stepping away from their parents' Christian faith.What should our response be? How can we continue to have fruitful conversations? How do we cope with our sense of disappointment? Listen to Beth and Steve's encouragement and wisdom.Steve is also Executive Director of Biblical Counselling UK. He and his wife have three adult children.If you have any questions or comments, please get in touch with us at podcast@faithinkids.org.
