You don't have to be a Bible expert to help the children in your life discover the truth of God's Word.

Teaching children to study Scripture can feel overwhelming, especially when we're still learning ourselves. But we don't need to have all the answers or a perfectly planned lesson to begin helping the next generation grow in their understanding of God's Word.

In this episode, Angie welcomes Nancy Hoffman and Cassie Rajewich for a conversation about using the Step By Step Bible study method with their children and grandchildren. Through their experiences, we're reminded that Bible study doesn't have to be complicated or perfect, and that God can use simple conversations around Scripture to deepen our faith.

What you'll hear in this week's episode

• How the Step By Step Bible study method is helping children and grandchildren engage with Scripture
• Why learning to study the Bible is different from simply reading or memorizing verses
• How to adapt Bible study for children of different ages, personalities, and learning styles
• What surprised Nancy and Cassie as they watched God's Word come alive in their families
• Why flexibility, patience, and a willingness to learn together matter more than having all the answers

Sometimes God opens doors we never expected, revealing new ways to share His Word with the next generation.

Teaching children to study the Bible can feel intimidating, especially when we aren't confident in our own understanding of Scripture. But we don't have to know every answer before we begin, and sometimes the most meaningful learning happens when we discover God's Word together.

In this episode, Angie shares how the Step By Step Bible study method, originally created for adults, is now helping children and families engage with Scripture. Through Psalm 78:4, we're reminded of the importance of passing God's truth to the next generation and encouraged to trust that He can use our willingness to teach, even when we're still learning ourselves.

What you'll hear in this week's episode

• How the Step By Step Bible study method began reaching children and families in unexpected ways
• Why parents and grandparents don't need to know every answer to help children study Scripture
• What Psalm 78:4 teaches us about sharing God's truth with the next generation
• How learning Scripture alongside children can strengthen everyone's relationship with God
• How the new Step By Step Family Kit makes studying the Bible together more accessible

Sloth isn’t always about doing nothing. Sometimes we can be busy, productive, and working hard while still avoiding the work God is actually calling us to do.

It can be easy to put something off because the timing feels inconvenient, the work feels uncomfortable, or there always seems to be a good reason to wait. But when we continually resist God’s invitation to move, we may also miss the harvest He wants to cultivate through our obedience.

In this episode, Angie steps into Proverbs 20:4 for a closer look at sloth and why it’s about more than physical laziness. We’re reminded that spiritual sloth can sometimes hide beneath busyness, and faithful living means learning to recognize when God is calling us to rest and when He is asking us to roll up our sleeves and act.

• How spiritual sloth can look like resisting or delaying what God is asking us to do
• What the original Hebrew word for “slothful” reveals about purposeful work and responding to wisdom
• How putting off action can keep us from experiencing the harvest God desires to cultivate in our lives
