It’s easy for kids to love people who are kind to them—but what about the kid who’s mean, the friend who hurts feelings, or the sibling who won’t stop? This episode gives kids a realistic, grace-filled way to practice love even when they don’t get along with someone—without pretending hard situations aren’t hard.

Sherri and Parker talk about boundaries and getting help from a trusted adult when needed, then share the story of The Good Samaritan. Kids will hear how love doesn’t only stick to “our people”—love notices, stops, and helps, even when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable.

This conversation is especially helpful for families navigating friendship conflict, playground moments, or “that kid at school.” It gives kids simple ideas they can actually try: offering help, including someone who’s left out, and choosing kindness on purpose.

Try asking:

• 
  “Who is someone that’s hard to love right now?”
• “What’s one safe, kind thing you could do—like helping or including them?”

One of the clearest ways kids can understand love is this: love serves. Not in a big, complicated way—but in everyday choices that help someone else, even when we don’t feel like it.

In this episode, Sherri and Parker talk about what it means to serve (like helping with dishes or doing something kind when you’re mad), then jump into a powerful Bible story: Jesus washing His disciples’ feet (John 13). Kids will hear how Jesus—the most important person in the room—chose the low, humble job to show love. It’s a simple picture that helps kids connect love to real life: kindness, helping, generosity, and showing up for people.

Perfect for listening together or separately—and it naturally sets up a great family question: “What’s one way we can serve today?”

Try asking:

• 
  “What’s one small way you can serve someone today?”
• “Who is someone at school that could use kindness or help?”

Forgiveness can be one of the hardest parts of love—especially when kids feel hurt, embarrassed, or angry. This episode helps kids understand forgiveness in a way that’s honest and doable: forgiveness is putting down big feelings instead of carrying them forever.

Sherri and Parker talk about real-life moments (like getting hit with a water gun!) and then walk through the story of the Prodigal Son. Kids will hear a beautiful picture of a father who welcomes his son home with love and forgiveness—and learn that forgiving someone doesn’t mean what they did was okay. It means we’re choosing not to let the hurt control us, and we’re asking God to help us lay it down.

This is a meaningful “wrap” to the Love series—and a helpful listen for any family working through sibling conflict, friendship hurt, or big emotions that keep coming back.

Try asking:

• 
  “Is there someone you need to forgive—or ask forgiveness from?”
• “What big feeling do you want help putting down today?”
