Faith in Kids

How do you keep warm in Antarctica? Or Alaska? Can you get your blood freeze so you can sleep through the winter? Jesus made frogs that can do exactly that! Ed and Jam are looking at James 2:14-26 and finding out the cost of faith and love. And Captain Fakebeard might have to surrender some secret donuts. Oh, and we’ve got a BRAND NEW song written just for this series! You can watch and singalong to the new Living Faith song by Dumbrocks on YouTube:

We’re kicking off a new Faith in Parents series on the hardest topics parents face - the conversations we’re often told to avoid. In this first episode, we talk about illness.
Jason shares his family’s story of unexpected premature birth, long months in NICU, and years of medical uncertainty... and what it’s like to keep trusting Jesus when there’s no quick fix or clear end in sight. Together, we reflect on crisis, perseverance, prayer that changes over time, and how to talk honestly with our children when life is scary and unfair.
This is a gentle, hopeful conversation for parents in the thick of it (and for those walking alongside them), reminding us that God is near, even when the questions are loud and the answers feel far away.

Jason is the Digital Lead at Faith in Kids and Co-Hosts The Parenting Tools Podcast

Let's hang out with Charlie and Dan. We're talking Gen Alpha- that's all our kids who are born after 2010. Dan says they're inspiring and hope-filled leaders. They're also voice activated, swiping, coding, messaging, coordinating, tech savvy and all in a wizz. As parents, we struggle to keep up. They can be our guide!
We also tackle the downsides when there is less play, less conversation and their lower concentration span. They say they're bored but don't know how to be bored.
Dan gets us talking about engaging them in Church and encourages parents to lean in with a new spiritual openness.
Charlie covers routine, time limits and the dangers of online contacts.
Great guests! Ed leaves thinking he may not be too old while Amy asks for a quick recap

Charlie and Dan Blythe are leaders, communicators, and parents of two boys, passionate about helping families.
Charlie works with A21, a global anti–human trafficking organisation, and Dan leads Alpha Youth, equipping the next generation to explore faith and life’s biggest questions.
