Theology Resources for Families with Younger Kids

This is the post I referred to in my sermon today.

As I said before we started the series, I think Emblems of the Infinite King is a great resource not only for kids 10 and older but for the parents of younger kids to build their theological fluency.

But what about theology for younger children? Here a few places to start (alongside establishing your kids in the story of God with books like Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name by Sally Lloyd-Jones and The Gospel Story Bible: Discovering Jesus in the Old and New Testaments by Marty Machowski):

• Read “Indoctrinate Your Kids? Yes!” and “Someone Will Catechize Your Kids in 2021. Don’t Outsource It.” The second article will introduce you to some additional resources.

• The Ology: Ancient Truths Ever New by Marty Machowski is a systematic theology for younger children.

• For a deeper dive and practical steps, read and begin applying Family Discipleship: Leading Your Home through Time, Moments, and Milestones by Matt Chandler and Adam Griffin. You should be hearing more from our Family Ministry regarding this book in the coming months.

Launching the Most Unique Sermon Series We've Ever Done

At least the most unique in many years—”Room of Marvels—A Series on Foundational Bible Doctrine.” What will make it particularly unique is the use of the book and podcast by Ryan Lister, Emblems of the Infinite King: Enter the Knowledge of the Living God. Each week we’ll play portions of the audio version and assign a chapter for reading. Watch the book trailer here or below.
