  • "Why Don't My Friends Believe What Our Family Does?" | PEP Talk Vol. 2, Episode 2

    Why does our family believe one thing about God… while my friends believe something totally different? 


    In this episode of Season 2: Questions Kids Ask, Kayla and Kaz unpack how to help your child navigate differences in faith with both confidence and kindness. As parents, we have the incredible opportunity to shape kids who know what they believe and know how to love people who believe differently.


    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why this question is really about belonging, not just belief.

    • How to help your child build strong faith without feeling superior or defensive.

    • Simple, age-appropriate language to explain, “This is what our family believes and why.”


    Whether it comes up at the dinner table or after school, this episode will equip you to turn a potentially confusing moment into a faith-building conversation rooted in truth and grace.

  • "What Does God Sound Like?" | PEP Talk Vol. 2, Episode 1

    Did your child pray and expect a booming "movie trailer" voice to answer back from the clouds? It’s a common question!


    In the premiere of Volume 2: Questions Kids Ask, Kayla and Kaz explore the mystery of God’s voice. As parents, we have the incredible privilege of being the "Eli" to our children and helping them realize that the thoughts, nudges, and whispers they feel might just be the Creator speaking.


    In this episode, we cover:


    • Why hearing God is a "normal" part of daily life, not a mystical event.
    • Why God chose a whisper for Elijah and a persistent call for Samuel.
    • How to teach your kids the simple prayer: "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening."


    Whether you’re in the carpool line or catching up on housework, this episode will equip families to turn a challenging question into tuning their ear to the frequency of Heaven.
