As a parent, one of my greatest hopes is to help my children understand the Bible and develop a strong, personal faith as they grow.

To nurture this, we regularly turn to God’s Word — whether through family study at home, church gatherings, or encouraging older children to have their own private Bible reading practice. Over the years, I’ve found that having a variety of Bible-based resources readily available is invaluable. From books and podcasts to television shows and music, these tools have deepened my children’s understanding, sparked meaningful conversations, and made learning about the Bible both accessible and enjoyable.

In this blog, I’m sharing some of my favorite Bible resources for kids, including engaging Bibles, storybooks, faith-filled podcasts, uplifting television shows, and inspiring music. These selections are designed to bring the Bible to life in ways that are easy for children to understand, filled with powerful messages, and effective in helping young minds connect with Biblical truths. Whether you’re guiding your child through family Bible study or encouraging them to explore Scripture on their own, these resources will make the journey both enriching and enjoyable.
