    S16 E10: Framing the Bible with Andrew & Charlotte Ollerton

    How can we help our children and teenagers see how the stories of the Bible fit together and what they have to do with their own lives? In today’s episode, Jess chats with Andrew and Charlotte Ollerton about their family resource, God’s Story, Our Story, and why helping children see the Bible as one big story can make such a difference. From making Bible time feel less like a lesson to talking about the tricky parts of Scripture, Andrew and Charlotte share practical ideas for exploring the Bible together, asking questions and connecting what we read with everyday life. And if you don’t feel confident about the Bible yourself, there’s encouragement here too: you don’t need to know all the answers to make a start and learn alongside your children. Andrew and Charlotte Ollerton live in south Wales with their three children. Charlotte works in a high school and loves stories and her allotment. Andrew is author of "The Bible Course" and "God's Book". They enjoy adventuring and travelling as a family.
