Episode 24 | Gentleness is Strength!

Episode 24 | Gentleness is Strength!

What does it mean to be gentle? In this episode of the Everyday Truths Kids Podcast, Sherri talks with kids about gentleness as part of the Fruit of the Spirit. Kids will hear that gentleness is not about being weak or quiet all the time. Gentleness is choosing kindness, calm, and care even when we could do something else. This episode gives kids everyday examples of gentleness with their hands, their words, their friends and family, and even the way they talk to themselves. Sherri also helps kids look to Jesus as our best example of gentleness, using Matthew 11:29 as a simple reminder that Jesus is humble and gentle at heart. Whether your family listens together or your child listens independently, this episode is a gentle starting place for faith conversations with kids about what it looks like to follow Jesus in real life.

Episode 23 | Faithfulness: Trusting God When It’s Scary

This week, we’re continuing the conversation about faithfulness—especially when doing the right thing feels uncomfortable or even a little scary. Through honest questions and everyday examples, kids are invited to think about moments when they’ve felt nervous to stand up for what’s right… like telling the truth, speaking up, or staying true to what they believe. Then we step into the story of Daniel—a man who chose to stay faithful to God, even when it meant facing the lions’ den.  Kids will hear how Daniel trusted God in a really hard situation—and how God didn’t remove the challenge, but stayed with him right in the middle of it. For parents, this episode opens the door to conversations about courage, peer pressure, and helping kids understand that faithfulness isn’t about everything being easy—it’s about trusting God through it. Whether your child listens independently or you revisit it together later, this episode is here to support real-life faith conversations in a way that feels doable. A couple gentle ways to keep the conversation going: *  When does it feel hardest to do the right thing?  *  What helps you feel brave when you’re scared?  If this episode encouraged your family, follow the podcast and share it with someone who’s helping kids grow in faith—one everyday moment at a time.

Episode 22 | Faithfulness: Trusting God When Life Feels Unfair

This week, we’re talking about faithfulness—especially when life feels unfair. Kids know that feeling… getting blamed for something they didn’t do, things not going their way, or wanting to react out of frustration. In this episode, we meet Joseph, whose life didn’t go the way he expected—but who kept choosing faithfulness anyway. Through storytelling and honest conversation, kids will hear how Joseph stayed faithful in really hard circumstances—and how God stayed with him through it all.  For parents, this episode creates a natural opening to talk about:  what it looks like to keep going when things are hard, how to respond when emotions run high, and how faith shows up in everyday choices. Whether your child listens independently or you revisit parts together later, this episode is here to support real, low-pressure faith conversations. A couple gentle ways to keep the conversation going: *  What do you usually feel like doing when something is unfair?  *  What could being faithful look like for you this week?   If this episode resonated, follow the podcast and share it with another family who’s navigating faith in everyday life.

Episode 21 | Goodness When No One is Watching

Goodness can feel easy when someone’s paying attention—but what about when no one is watching? This week, we’re continuing our conversation on the Fruit of the Spirit: goodness, focusing on the quiet, everyday choices kids make when there’s no audience, no reward, and no recognition. This episode helps parents guide kids toward understanding that goodness isn’t about being noticed—it’s about who we’re becoming. In this episode, Sherri and Fin talk through real-life examples kids can relate to—like schoolwork, cleaning their room, and making honest choices—while connecting it to the story of David before he ever faced Goliath. Kids will see how faithfulness in small, unseen moments matters more than they might think. Whether your child listens independently or you press play together, this episode gives you language to keep the conversation going in a natural, pressure-free way. A couple simple questions you can ask: *  Why do you think it’s harder to do the right thing when no one sees?  *  What’s one “small” choice you can make this week that still matters to God?  If this episode encouraged your family, share it with a friend and follow along so you don’t miss what’s next. Simple faith for kids. Real conversations for families.

Ep 20 | What Does "Good" Really Mean?

This week, we’re beginning a conversation about goodness—but not in the way kids usually hear it. We use the word good all the time… good food, good day, good job. But when the Bible says that God is good, it means something much bigger—something perfect, complete, and without anything broken in it. This episode helps kids start to understand that difference in a way that actually makes sense in their everyday lives. In this episode, kids will hear: *  Why “good” can mean different things depending on how we use it  *  The difference between something that looks good and something that truly is good  *  Why only God is perfectly good—and why that matters  *  How God’s goodness doesn’t go away, even when we mess up  This conversation keeps things light, relatable, and grounded in real life, helping kids connect big truths about God to the world they live in every day. As always, this episode is designed to work however your family needs it—whether your child listens independently or it becomes something you talk about together later. If you want to keep the conversation going, you might ask: *  What’s something that seems good but isn’t actually perfect?  *  What do you think it means that God is always good?  Thanks for being here and making space for everyday conversations about faith.
