S6Ep16: Jesus vs the Bad Guys →

This week hosts Mike Nawrocki and Sarah Humphrey talk with authors Conner Shram and Jared Neusch about their new book: Jesus vs the Bad Guys.

Who is Jesus? Authors and lifelong friends Connor Shram and Jared Neusch want kids to meet the real Jesus.

Jesus is the core to understanding our faith in a deep and personal way. Introducing kids to Jesus at a young age can help them build a lifelong, unshakeable trust in him. The authors goal is to provide stories about Jesus that are fun and exciting, reflect the playful imagination God has given to each of his children, and reveal the radical, timeless example of Jesus message.

Even young children, through Gods help, are ready to know the real Jesus. Thats why each book in this series features key biblical values, presented in a fun, funny, engaging, and lasting way. Eachbook in the Jesus Is for Kids series will help children:

build their knowledge of who Jesus is;

enter a deeper relationship with Him; and

develop a love of Scripture.

Appian Media is committed to providing tools that are biblically accurate, visually engaging, and freely available, in an effort to help bring people closer to God through a better understanding and study of the Bible.

This week hosts Sarah Humphrey and Mike Nawrocki talk with author Carey Koenig about her new book, Do I Belong? Reassuring Kids Adopted From Foster Care.

With more than 400,000 children in foster care in the US alone, thousands of kids struggle to find their forever families. Even those who are adopted experience heavy emotions that are difficult to understand. These children are asking,

Why do my friends make fun of me for being adopted?

Carey Koenig, along with her adopted children Reid and Halley want to help children realize that being adopted is awesome! Do I Belong? is a resource for kids of all ages who have been adopted from foster care who need to know that they are not alone. This resource is great for younger children to read with their parents, for teenagers, and for anyone who wants to learn more about what being adopted from foster care is all about. And best of all, theyll hear from several different kids who have been adopted from foster care.

Kids will learn that they were adopted for a special reason and that no matter what happens, they are never alone.

This beautifully illustrated book celebrates that God made girls in his image and explores all the wonderful things he designed them to be and to do.

Girls aged 3-7 will learn that they are good and necessary, how God calls different women to do different things, and how trusting in Jesus is the key to help us love and serve others wherever we are.

Follow along as a little girl learns from her mother all about real women from the Bible and later history. Together they imagine lots of different ways in which we can reflect Gods character and help those around us today, whether thats through being a mom or a missionary, a truck driver or a teacher!
