    Looking to God #3 Safe with God

    Where do hide when you want to feel safe? Jam’s got a place but getting into is  quite dangerous. And what do you do when you meet a black bear in the woods? And what if your dog is in danger?! We’ve got some fun facts, a story and poem to help. But it’s not as good as Psalm 57! Ed explains that’s the real deal. The pirates are back, digging a pit which is going to go just fine, right? And check out Jesus Can by Dumbrocks: https://dumbrocks.com/music/songs/jesus-can/ Don't forget the new Faith in Parents podcast, to the Family Moment videos that are on this page, and to our webinar on "Helping every child's mental wellbeing".

    Looking to God #2 Thankful to God

    Who are you thankful for right now?! That's the whiparound question to start us off with an attitude of gratitude. Before Ed and Jam go for a walk outside, we have fun facts about pufflings (which sounds like a cereal), Burrowing Owls that don't burrow and a bird's nest the size of car! Plus shout outs at the start? And don't worry! The pirates are back looking for buried treasure. Do they find it? And Randall Goodgame reminds us that we can trust in the Lord with a song.

Plus music from Awesome Cutlery: Father You Are King of Heaven Don't forget the new Faith in Parents podcast, to the Family Moment videos that are on this page, and to our webinar on "Helping every child's mental wellbeing".
