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 Helps Me” uses Psalm 46:1 as our text of choice and memory verse for the week. We will discuss how God not only helps us, but He is our strength and our refuge or “safe place” in times of trouble. 

The most sure fire way to receive help from anyone is to simply ask. We ask grownups for help for everything, from making food to tying shoes to homework, studying, and for clarity on questions. God is the same way, but we ask Him for help through our prayers. When we invite Him in to our lives and situations through prayer, He shows up.

We discuss three areas God can help us in. He can help us focus—whether it be to get chores finished, homework done, studying, or even helping us on a test. He isn’t going to make us “magically” pass a test we didn’t study for, but when we do our part to listen, learn, and retain knowledge, He will help us by bringing what we have put in to our remembrance. You can’t recall what was never there.

He can help us with our attitude, causing us to show love, be generous, and be kind, even when we wake up in not the best mood ever. 

He also helps us in our times of trouble. When we “get in a bind,” “in a pickle,” or we’re “between a rock and a hard place.”

There is never a situation that we face that He will not show up to help. He is Omnipresent, meaning He’s everywhere all the time! We will never be somewhere that He isn’t. 

Please show your kids that even as adults we need help. It is so beneficial to know when you are young where to go when you are in trouble. Yes your loved ones and friends help you, but God is the only one who is never too far away. 

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!
