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.

    S8Ep13: Time for Courage

    This week on the podcast, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer welcome author Rob Currie to discuss his powerful new middle-grade historical novel, Time for Courage. Set during the final months of World War II in the Netherlands, Time for Courage tells the gripping story of ordinary families who risked everything to save Jewish children from the Nazis. When the German occupation intensifies and the Gestapo begins hunting Jewish youth, the only hope for survival comes from the brave men and women of the Dutch Resistance. In this sequel to Hunger Winter, thirteen-year-old Dirk and his family relocate to a farm near Utrecht, Netherlands, in January 1945. As the Nazis escalate their efforts to capture Jewish children and send them to concentration camps, Dirk’s family secretly joins the resistance effort. Using forged ration cards and hidden safe houses, they help rescue Jewish children and place them with families willing to risk their lives to protect them. Endorsed by award-winning authors and multiple Holocaust museums, Time for Courage combines authentic World War II history with fast-paced adventure and suspense. In this episode, Rob Currie shares the inspiration behind the story, the real historical events that shaped the novel, and why stories of courage, sacrifice, and hope remain so important for young readers today. If you enjoy historical fiction for kids, stories about the Dutch Resistance, or books that help children understand the realities of the Holocaust and World War II, you won’t want to miss this conversation. ------------------------------------------------------ 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.
