Let's Agree!

Eight things every parent, grandparent, educator, and ministry leader can agree on — and why these books matter.

Let's agree that kids are amazing!
01

Let's agree that kids are amazing!

Children have an incredible capacity for faith, wonder and growth. When we invest in their spiritual development early, we help establish a foundation they can carry through every season of life. Children are naturally curious, imaginative and eager to discover the world around them, including who God created them to be!

Let's agree that kids need to know they are loved!
02

Let's agree that kids need to know they are loved!

Every child needs to know, deep in their heart, that they are unconditionally loved. Not because of what they do, but because of who they are in Christ. The Ethan & Abby stories weave God’s love into everyday situations in ways children can understand and relate to. But it goes even deeper than knowing God loves them. When children understand their identity in Christ and that God lives within them, they begin to recognize that His strength and power are available to them. Make no mistake, knowing who they are in Christ is foundational to building lasting confidence, especially when challenges arise.

03

Let's agree that kids need to know they have a purpose!

One of the greatest gifts we can give a child is the knowledge that their life has meaning; that they were created on purpose, for a purpose. When children understand that God has a plan for their lives, it changes the way they see themselves and the way they engage with the ever-changing world around them.

04

Let's agree that kids need to know they can talk to God!

Prayer is one of the most powerful tools we can give a child. And yet, for many children, it can feel mysterious or intimidating. Children can learn that talking to God is as natural as talking to a friend. He is never too far away or too busy to listen, and they can talk to Him anytime, anywhere and about anything. Absolutely life-changing!

Let's agree that kids need to know they are forgiven!
05

Let's agree that kids need to know they are forgiven!

No mistake is too big for God's grace. When children understand that they can ask for forgiveness and be forgiven, something remarkable happens. They become free. Free to try, free to fail and free to get back up again. Learning to apologize, receive forgiveness and extend forgiveness to others helps children understand that their mistakes don't have to define them.

Let's agree that kids need faith-filled role models!
06

Let's agree that kids need faith-filled role models!

Children learn by watching. When the adults in their lives model faith by praying openly, trusting God in hard times and extending grace to others, children absorb those lessons deeply. The everyday moments we share with children create natural opportunities for parents, grandparents and educators to model a faith that is lived, not simply taught.

Let's agree that kids need connection!
07

Let's agree that kids need connection!

Some of the most important conversations with children begin in ordinary moments. Whether at home, in a Sunday school class, a Christian school or children's ministry, creating space to listen helps children know they are seen, heard and valued. Those moments of authentic connection can open the door to conversations about friendships, challenges, faith and what's really happening in their world. What tools do you use to connect with your child?

Let's agree that the right books can change a child's life!
08

Let's agree that the right books can change a child's life!

The stories we share with children can help shape who they become. The right book at the right time can open a heart, spark a conversation and plant a seed of faith that grows for a lifetime. That's why I created the Faith Adventures with Ethan & Abby series: to help children discover biblical truths in ways they can understand and give the adults in their lives a natural way to keep the conversation going. When children begin building their confidence on a relationship with God, they have a foundation they can carry with them wherever life takes them.
