Episode 96: The Top 3 Spiritual Questions Kids Ask: #2 – “What’s My Purpose?”
Kids ask GREAT questions, and here at the podcast we want to hand you the tools to answer those questions with excellence! Everything we need to know about life and godliness is in Scripture – it’s created to be our instruction book for life. Last week we started a mini-series that covers the top three spiritual questions kids ask, starting with “Where do I come from?” This week, our question to answer is “What’s My Purpose?” Kori and Meredith dig deep to uncover what our purpose truly is and discuss how we can teach this to the kids in our lives! Our conversations will help you guide and inspire the next generation so they can be a powerhouse for God’s kingdom here on earth. You’ll be able to use these tools to pray over your children, start conversations, and disciple them!
