Episode 69: The 8 Great Smarts

Did you know Jesus died so that we may have ABUNDANT life, not just a life? Did you also know that children can only live an abundant life if they know who they are, and that they are known? Our guest today, Kathy Koch, wants to drive home the point that every kid is smart – and as we learn which type of smart, we can adapt our teaching styles in ways that have great potential to change everything for the better. Our hope is that you leave here today with fresh ideas of how to teach the children in your circle of influence so that they feel known by you. And even better, that they are known by God.

How Studying Truth Helps Decipher Counterfeit
Just like trained professionals can spot counterfeit money and handbags, children need a clear Biblical worldview to recognize counterfeit messages they encounter in our culture. Counterfeit acts like invisible UV rays, damaging our children and we don’t even realize it. The only antidote for what our kids need to prevent them from damaging counterfeit is Jesus.

“According to Their Own Kind” Experiment
God has always been consistent in His creation. In fact, the phrase “according to their own kinds” is used 10 times in the first chapter of the Bible. This can be a difficult concept for kids to understand, but we have a hands-on activity that will help them visually understand that living things always come from other living things that are similar to them.
