Published: July 26, 2024, 11:03 a.m.

For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience, I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that\u2019s something that doesn\u2019t fit what you\u2019re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week\xa0about toxic achievement culture with Jennifer Wallace or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don\u2019t want to miss!\nJoining me today is the Vice President of Education and Publishing at Minno (a streaming platform for kids), Jessica Wolstenholm. They discuss how to use screen time to positively engage with children and encourage their faith. Jessica discusses the importance of normalizing faith in children's entertainment and providing them with opportunities to see their faith lived out on screen. She also talks about the 2 to 14 window, which is the critical period for children to make a decision about following Jesus. My hope is that this conversation provides practical tips for incorporating faith into daily routines and cultivating scripture memory in children.\n\nEpisode Chapters: \n02:36 | Using Screen Time to Positively Engage with Children & Encourage Their Faith\n06:42 | Normalizing Faith in Children's Entertainment\n13:52 | The Two to 14 Window: A Critical Period for Children's Faith\n25:46 | Cultivating Scripture Memory in Children\n\n-------------------------------\nLinks Discussed in This Episode |\n\nOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity\n\n\nLaugh and Grow Bible for Kids\n\nA brand new Laugh and Grow Bible 30 min special on the life of Jesus.
