Feeding Lambs is for our youngest believers and friends in the kingdom. In season one, we are mirroring Feeding Sheep in the sense that we are covering topics that are getting us “back to the basics.”

We will be discussing foundational truths in this season that everyone needs to know and be able to grow and build upon in the times to come. 

“God Heals Me” uses Isaiah 53:5 as our text of choice and memory verse for the week. We will discuss how God not only made us, but He also heals us. We journey back to episode one and connect the dots between how God makes us with how He heals us.

In Psalm 139:13 which is the verse before  our memory verse for Episode 1, says the He knit us together in our mother’s womb. Indicating not only that He formed us with His own two hands like clay as we discussed, but He also knit us together which is a form of sewing, that pays attention to every intricate detail of who we are. 

In Isaiah 53:5 the Hebrew word for healed is the word “rapha.” It is where we get the name of God Jehovah Rapha, The Lord who heals. Rapha in its most primitive form means to mend—by sewing. How cool is that? The God that sewed us together in our creation will sew us back up when we are wounded in our bodies, minds, souls and spirit. When He heals us, He restores completely. He leaves no “tape and glue” behind. No scars. It is seamless, flawless, just as if it never happened.

He purchased our healing at the whipping post which was one of the first stops before Calvary. We discuss the crucifixion just a little bit, but will likely get more in depth with it in next weeks episode, “God forgives Me,” so please be aware and prepared if your little lamb has questions about what crucifixion looked like and what Jesus’ sacrifice actually entailed. I’m sorry, but not sorry, because I believe in giving them the truth in a way they can wrap their minds around it. To give them the facts, without being gory in the details. So if you want to preview next week’s episode before they listen, just in case you’re not comfortable with the way I explain, please feel free to do so. They are your children, I am just here to be as helpful as I can in giving the word in it’s truest form to help them on their faith journey and to help you as you endeavor to disciple them.

The most important place we can connect with our children is through sharing our faith. God at the center of any relationship only allows it to become as strong as it can be. Don’t just build memories of vacations, adventures, sports, or school, build memorials of faith that will last throughout eternity. 

We pray that you will listen with your children and let these “mini podcasts” be a doorway to having important conversations about living out their faith, and what it means. Take time to ask them questions and really engage in their spiritual walk! It’ll transform the whole spiritual dynamic of the family if you will.

Please feel free to let your children know that they can reach out—with help from their parents of course—with any questions or topics that they would like to see covered, or they can send in recordings of them doing their weekly memory verses! 

We want them to know that this podcast is just as much for them as it is for the teens/adults. Can’t wait to see how they grow from here!

God bless, and thank you for the opportunity to speak into their lives. What an honor it is!
