Teaching Your Kids to Be Scared of God? Raise God-loving Kids Instead
Have you ever opened your mouth to talk to your kids about God — and heard your own childhood come out instead?
Do you know the truth about who God is, but when the moment actually comes you still reach for the phrases that scared you as a kid — before you can stop yourself?
Are you desperate to give your kids a different picture of God — but not sure you have the right words to do it in a Tuesday afternoon kitchen with a four-year-old?
Listen to Episode 69: Accidentally Teaching Your Kids to Fear God? How Christian Moms Can Raise Kids Who Love God Instead
Teaching kids who God is shouldn’t require a theology degree. When the only words you have were handed to you to fear God, it’s hard to explain God to a child without accidentally passing it on. In this episode, we’re talking about simple phrase swaps that change everything for your kids. Letting them know who God is and that He is safe. We’re going back to Exodus 3:7. What God said He was watching for before He ever gave Moses a single instruction — and turning that truth into language your kids can carry for the rest of their lives. Whether you have toddlers or preschoolers or somewhere in between, you’re leaving this episode with real words for real moments. One small change — from “God is watching you” to “God loves watching over you” — and the God your kids grow up knowing looks completely different.
