Tips for Teaching Challenging Bible Stories

Warning: Just letting you know upfront that this episode might not be suitable to listen to with the kids around.
 
If you have worked with kids for very long in church you know the stories…Rahab, David and Bathsheba, Philip and the Ethiopian, the Virgin Mary. These are the stories with challenging words that are hard to describe to children. In this episode, Dr. Val and Dr. Virginia discuss ways to define difficult words and how you can answer those hard questions in a classroom setting.
