Talking about big issues
07 Mar 2025
It's not always easy to explain why the world is as it is, and it can seem hard to understand what God is - or isn't - doing.
How to talk about ...
Every now and then there are things we need to talk to our kids about but maybe don’t quite know how to get started?
One of the things we do as Christian parents and carers is to frame, or explain, who God is and what he’s got to do with everyday life.
In this topic, you’ll find help for framing:
- Sin, forgiveness and salvation
- Things to do with the supernatural and evil
- Big issues, such as justice, suffering and doubt.
You will also find a lot of helpful resources in our change and challenge topics, covering all sorts of things such as grief, mental health, family breakdown and relationships.

Messing up but not giving up

As parents, we will often find ourselves clearing up our children's messes. But we'll also likely make a few of our own! What does God say to us when we mess up?
