There's nothing that we as parents want more for our children than for them to come to know and truly love God.

But when they're young, it's sometimes hard to know how to help them grow in their understanding of the Bible and Christian theology.

How do you explain the Trinity to a second grader? What's the right time to introduce

kids to the doctrine of election or predestination? And how are we supposed to talk to our kids

about the doctrine of hell without terrifying them? My guest today is Christian Weatherall, a mom

and a Bible teacher, and in our conversation, she highlights why all of us are already

theologians, even our kids. She offers practical advice for teaching our children about important

doctrines and shares what it looks like in our own home. She also offers encouragement to parents

facing questions about theology that they're not sure how to answer.

Kristen Weatherall is a wife, a mother, a writer, and a speaker.

She's also the author of The For the Bible Tells Me So series,

a brand new collection of board books for young kids aimed at teaching them core doctrines of the Christian faith.

Let's get started.

Well, Kristen, thank you so much for joining me again on the Crossway podcast.

It's fun to be back.

Yeah, it's good to talk.

So today we're going to talk about teaching deep theological truths, the riches of the doctrines that we believe as Christians,

to little kids, and why that's so important for kids to be exposed to those doctrines,

to be taught those doctrines, but maybe even more encouragingly for people listening right now,

why it's doable for Christian parents to actually do that with their kids.

And you've written three new books.

There's more coming after these three, but three books designed to help parents to do that with their young children.
