Our kids have incredibly beautiful imaginations. They see shapes in the stars of the night sky. They make up stories about unicorns and fairies. They pretend to be the MVP of their favorite pro team. With their imaginations, kids dream big and imagine impossible dreams. But at some point every kid realizes stars are simply balls of gas, unicorns aren’t real, and their odds of going pro are slim.

Sometimes reality can be disappointing.

But sometimes reality changes us for the better. The real story of Jesus—how he really walked on earth, how he really died for our sins, and how he really rose again—gives kids something to believe in that will see them through the ups and downs of life. When kids allow the story of Jesus to become part of who they are, it can impact every decision they make.

That's why for these two months we're talking about the virtue of faith, and how believing what Jesus did can change us!

Below you'll find what we're talking about each week, and you'll also find a few downloadable resources that you can use to help continue the conversation at home with your kids. We hope you find this helpful!
