You're listening to Faith for Normal People, the only other God-ordained podcast on the internet.

I'm Pete Ens. And I'm Jared Bias.

Before we get started with our episode today we have a huge announcement to make as you know our

mission at the Bible for normal people is to bring the best in biblical scholarship to everyday

people for seven years we've done that through podcast books and

classes but we've missed an important demographic kids. Yeah we get asked all the

time how do I teach my children about the Bible without all the weird stuff attached. That's why we're

creating a children's Bible called God's stories as told by God's children. With

this project our vision is to bring the best and biblical scholarship to everyday kids.

Yeah and when kids have access to a Bible that highlights the diversity, the nuances, and

the historical and contextual criticism in the text, rather than trying to cover that all up, they'll learn how to

engage with God and their faith instead of being pushed away from it. This children's Bible has

fun features to show kids how the Bible was written and reflection questions to help them

draw wisdom from the Bible for today because if we're honest kids are some of the

best critical thinkers out there. This storybook Bible will feature a collection

of 60 stories written by a diverse group of biblical

scholars, theologians, pastors and ministers, writers and activists from all over the

world. If this sounds like the Children's Bible you've been looking for all your life,

now is your chance to help make this dream a reality.

We've just launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $60,000 to fund this project,

and we really can't do it without you.

Your money will go toward paying our amazing team of authors, illustrators, designers,
