Kids Ministry Calling with Jana Magruder

18. Choosing the Right Bible for Kids of All Ages with Mary Wiley


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered if the Bible you’re handing to a child is the right fit for them? As kids grow and develop, so do their needs when it comes to engaging with God’s Word. 

In this episode, we’re joined by Mary Wiley for an eye-opening conversation about choosing age-appropriate Bibles that truly connect with kids at every stage of their spiritual journey. Mary brings her deep passion for biblical literacy and her ministry experience to the table as she walks us through how to select Bibles that are not only theologically sound but also accessible, engaging, and tailored to a child’s developmental needs.  

Mary shares her personal calling story and why fostering a love for God’s Word in children is one of the most important things we can do. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or ministry leader, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about the Bibles you place in kids’ hands.

We’re so glad you joined us for this important conversation with Mary Wiley! If today’s episode gave you new insight or encouragement, we’d be so grateful if you’d take a minute to rate and review the podcast. Your support helps more ministry leaders and parents discover these conversations that equip them to make a difference. And don’t forget to share this episode with a friend or teammate who’s passionate about helping kids grow in their love for God’s Word. 

Thanks for listening—we’ll see you next time!
