Looking for a new way to engage your children in Bible study? Join us for the KidsView Devotional podcast. Think of each episode as the chance for your kids to consider the Word in a practical, real-life application. Each episode includes a memory verse, a lesson and closes with a prayer. Even better, each episode encourages your kids to talk to you (parents) about specific topics. So, listen as a family or use each episode as a springboard for open dialog about faith. Be sure to check out episode notes for parent talking points and bonus content.
In this episode, kids learn that serving God does not have to be a huge act, rather there are important ways to serve God from home, within their families...even while staying safe at home.

Who needs rules? We all do!
Sometimes it seems like we have way too may rules. At home, at church, at school. While we may think of these as negative things, if we shift our way of thinking we realize that being tied to rules actually gives us freedom. This is especially true when we consider the rules we follow as good Christians. The rules set forth in the bible tie us to God, and by following them we are eternally free. Isn't that amazing!
