    Stop, Pause and Pray

    The Fruits of the Spirit aren’t just about the “good” things we hope to see—sometimes they help us notice what’s off, too. This episode gives families a gentle, honest way to talk about bad fruit (like jealousy, hurtful choices, or selfish moments) without shame—because God meets us with help, not disgust. In this episode, kids will compare good fruit and bad fruit (with a funny coloring page to match!) and talk about feelings and choices they actually recognize: jealousy, anger that turns into hitting, gossip, and wanting to lie to avoid consequences. Sherri and Parker explain that bad fruit can grow when we’re focused on ourselves—but the good news is we don’t have to stay stuck. Kids will learn a simple plan for hard moments: stop, pause, and pray—and talk to a trusted grown-up when they need help. This is a great listen if your child is working through big emotions or sibling conflict. And it gives parents a calm phrase to use later: “Let’s pause—what fruit is showing up right now?” Try asking: “When you notice ‘bad fruit,’ what can you do first?”“What’s one good fruit you want God to help you grow when things feel hard?”Resources: Download the discussion guide + coloring sheet for this episode, and follow the podcast so you can keep building on this Fruits of the Spirit series. 🎧 More episodes, family discussion guides, and coloring sheets: 👉 https://everydaytruths.com/kids 📩 Get new episodes + resources in your inbox: 👉 https://everydaytruths.com/subscribe 📱 Follow along on social: Instagram: @everyday_truths_kids Facebook: Everyday Truths YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@everyday-truths-with-sherri

    Staying Connected to Jesus

    As we keep learning about the Fruits of the Spirit, kids start to see a comforting truth: God doesn’t ask us to do hard things alone. The good fruit God wants for us grows best when we stay connected to Him—especially when life feels big for little hearts (and honestly, for grown-ups too). In this episode, Sherri and Parker talk about asking for help instead of trying to handle everything by ourselves. Kids will hear real-life examples—big feelings, friendship drama, dealing with a bully, and even sad moments—and then learn Jesus’ picture of a vine: when we stay connected to Him, fruit can grow. They’ll also get simple, practical ways to stay connected: pray, worship, and read the Bible. This one works great as a quick family listen, but it’s also perfect for independent listening—because the takeaway is simple and repeatable: We can ask God for help. He’s always with us. Try asking: “What’s something you don’t want to do alone right now?”“What’s one way you want to stay connected to God today—prayer, worship, or Bible?”Keep going: Download today’s family guide + coloring sheet, and come back for the next episode as we keep exploring the Fruits of the Spirit together. 🎧 More episodes, family discussion guides, and coloring sheets: 👉 https://everydaytruths.com/kids 📩 Get new episodes + resources in your inbox: 👉 https://everydaytruths.com/subscribe 📱 Follow along on social: Instagram: @everyday_truths_kids Facebook: Everyday Truths YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@everyday-truths-with-sherri

    What Are the Fruits of the Spirit? (God Wants Good Things for Us)

    Fruits of the Spirit are good things God wants for us—not as a “be better” checklist, but as what grows in us when we belong to Jesus. This series is a gentle way to start faith conversations at home (even if they feel a little awkward sometimes), and it’s also the beginning of the Everyday Truths Kids Podcast journey with your family. In this episode, kids will hear a fun “fruit” picture (hello, green grapes!) and learn that what shows up on the outside can tell us what’s going on on the inside. Together, Sherri and Parker talk about how God’s Spirit lives in us and helps grow good fruit like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22–23). Whether you listen in the car, at breakfast, or let your kiddo listen on their own, this episode gives you easy language to come back to later: “What’s going on on the inside?”—and “God wants good things for you.” Try asking: “What’s one ‘good fruit’ you want God to help you grow this week?”“What’s something on the outside that might show what’s happening on the inside?”Download & follow: Grab the family discussion guide + coloring sheet, and follow Everyday Truths Kids so you don’t miss the next episode in our Fruits of the Spirit series. 🎧 More episodes, family discussion guides, and coloring sheets: 👉 https://everydaytruths.com/kids 📩 Get new episodes + resources in your inbox: 👉 https://everydaytruths.com/subscribe 📱 Follow along on social: Instagram: @everyday_truths_kids Facebook: Everyday Truths YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@everyday-truths-with-sherri
