What we teach kids about the Bible and how we teach them about the Bible is shaped by the cultures we live in. The families we grow up in, the churches we attend, the schools we go to, the neighborhoods we live in, and much more all are a part of the cultural lenses that shape how we see and interpret the world; this includes how we read and teach the Bible. In this workshop we will talk about what it means to contextualize the Bible for children (and ourselves) ) that remain faithful to Scripture. You will walk away with concrete strategies on how to better and more courageously teach the Bible to the children in our ministries.
