    S9Ep21: Talia Messina - Sunday Scribbles

    Helping Kids Stay Engaged in Church: The New Faith-Based Journal for Ages 7–11 from the Creators of GO BibleWhat if kids could stay focused during church, remember what they learned, and grow deeper in their faith every week? That's the goal behind Sunday Scribbles, a year-long Christian journal for kids ages 7–11 designed to help children actively engage during church services, Sunday school, children's church, and family worship. Created by the team behind GO Bible, this interactive journal transforms passive listening into meaningful spiritual growth. With five rotating weekly layouts, Sunday Scribbles appeals to multiple learning styles through writing, drawing, coloring, reflection, and fun listening activities. The result is a screen-free tool that helps children pay attention, retain biblical truths, and apply what they learn to everyday life. Each weekly spread includes space for kids to: • Record the date, lesson title, and favorite worship song • Color and reflect on Scripture-based artwork from the New Living Translation (NLT) • Play "Sermon Bingo" by listening for key faith words such as Jesus, God, prayer, faith, and worship • Reflect on how the lesson applies to their own lives • Take notes on new Bible truths they discover Beyond the weekly activities, Sunday Scribbles includes valuable discipleship resources for children: • A kid-friendly glossary of Christian terms • An overview of the major themes in every book of the Bible • An explanation of worship and why it matters • A Lord's Prayer coloring activity • Practical guidance for following Jesus every day • A GO Bible map tracing Israel's journey from Egypt to the Promised Land Whether used at church, Sunday school, children's ministry, or at home, Sunday Scribbles becomes a personal faith keepsake that helps children track their spiritual growth throughout the year. How Sunday Scribbles Connects to GO BibleThe mission of GO Bible has always been to help kids move beyond simply knowing Bible stories to actually living out their faith. Sunday Scribbles reinforces that mission by helping children move what they learn from their heads into their hearts. As kids listen, reflect, write, and respond to God's Word, they begin developing habits of faith that lead to action. The promise of GO Bible is simple: "When God calls, it's time to GO." Faith leads to action, and Sunday Scribbles helps children take the next step by engaging with God's truth in a way that is personal, memorable, and life-changing.

    This week on The Bible for Kids Podcast, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer welcome author Connor Shram to discuss the newest release in the Jesus Is for Kids series, Jesus and the Outsiders. Who is Jesus, and why does His message still matter for kids today? Authors Connor Shram and Jared Neusch are passionate about helping children discover the real Jesus through engaging Bible stories that build faith, compassion, and trust in God from an early age. Their Jesus Is for Kids series introduces children to the heart of the Gospel through imaginative storytelling, humor, and biblical truth. In Jesus and the Outsiders (Tyndale Kids, May 2026), kids learn an important lesson about inclusion, kindness, and loving others the way Jesus did. This entertaining Christian picture book for families, churches, and children’s ministry explores what it feels like to be left out and shows how Jesus welcomed outsiders with grace and compassion. The book highlights three powerful Bible stories about belonging and acceptance: • The Samaritan woman at the well • Zacchaeus • The repentant thief on the cross Through humorous storytelling and colorful illustrations, children discover that Jesus loves people from every background and calls us to show kindness, acceptance, and friendship to others. Parents, homeschool families, pastors, and children’s ministry leaders will find this a meaningful read-aloud that helps kids better understand the love of Christ and the importance of including others. Listen now to hear Connor Shram share the inspiration behind Jesus and the Outsiders, the mission of the Jesus Is for Kids series, and why helping children know Jesus personally can shape a lifelong faith. ------------------------------------------------------ The Bible for Kids is now a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, and we'd love to have you join us in our mission of reaching kids with the message of the Bible.
