  • The Bible for Kids Podcast - S8Ep2: Talia Messina - God’s Name for Me

    This week on the podcast, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer sit down with children’s book author Talia Messina to talk about her upcoming picture book, God’s Name for Me, releasing from Tyndale Kids in September 2025.

    We all have funny or affectionate nicknames given by family and loved ones—names that may be silly, sweet, or deeply personal, but still part of who we are. Does your child have a special nickname that’s just for them?

    In God’s Name for Me, Talia Messina brings together a diverse group of children who share the playful nicknames they’ve received from parents, grandparents, and friends. Through these stories, kids are gently reminded that while nicknames can be fun and meaningful, there is one name that matters most: the name God gives them, spoken out of His perfect love.

    This heartfelt children’s book helps young readers discover God’s “super special” name for them—freely given simply because they are exactly who He created them to be. The message is clear and powerful: being God’s child has nothing to do with personality, appearance, energy level, size, behavior, or how others treat us. Instead, our identity is rooted entirely in God’s unconditional love for His precious children.

    Perfect for parents, caregivers, educators, and ministry leaders, this episode explores faith-based identity, God’s love for children, and how Christian picture books can help kids understand who they are in Christ.

  • The Storyteller - Sophronia Crawford (Sisseton-Wahpeton)
    Sophronia's life from early childhood was marked by anger at being shipped off to boarding school. Then alcohol took over after her mother died. When she 'found Jesus', she told everyone how SHE had won over the battle over alcohol, but until she recognized that true and total victory is only found in Jesus, she discovered that she really wasn't free.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - January 12th - Mark 1:16-18
    Mark 1:16-18
    One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” And they left their nets at once and followed him.
    I will never forget the first time I saw the Sea of Galilee. I was with a friend and we had been travelling for a couple of hours up the Jordan valley. It was incredibly hot and our little car didn’t have the blessing of air conditioning. We greeted our first glimpse of the lake with great excitement and, as we saw it, it was so easy to imagine Jesus walking along beside it, coming to a couple of fishermen and inviting them to follow him. The truly incredible thing is that nothing has changed. Two thousand years ago, Jesus invited people to follow him, and he still does!
    It's the personal nature of Christianity that makes it so different from other religions and philosophies. Religions normally have a set of beliefs and rules that you have to subscribe to, and then you’re a member, but for Christians, it’s all about a person, and living a life that follows and pleases him. Life is instantly redefined when you follow Jesus. Nothing looks the same. Someone once described the difference as being like seeing life in colour after only seeing it in black and white.
    I find it fascinating that as soon as Jesus invited the fishermen to follow him, he gave them a job. You might have thought that Jesus would have given them a while to get to know him and understand his teaching first, but no – following Jesus always involves finding others to follow him. And that’s the way Jesus’ earthly ministry concluded as well. When Jesus ascended to his Father in heaven he commanded his followers to make disciples of all nations.
    Whatever you are doing today Jesus says two things to you. He invites you to follow him and asks you to recruit other followers as well.
    Question
    Who might you be able to encourage to follow Jesus today?
    Prayer
    Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for inviting me to follow you. Help me to follow you more closely each day and to encourage others to do the same. Amen
