Questioning Christianity… How Do You Explain God to Kids?

Christianity: explained or encountered?

“How do you share the Gospel with a child?” asks Calvin Samuel, principal of the London School of Theology on GOD TV’s groundbreaking series, Questioning Christianity. Also, “Is Christianity to be explained or encountered?” he contemplates.

Watch this video clip from episode 8 and hear answers from the GOD TV panel, comprising of Sarah Yardley, Chick Yuill, Sue Eldridge and Cris Rogers. Together with Calvin they draw from personal parenting experiences to share how they would explain God to a child. This dynamic group of ministry leaders will inspire you as you hear their responses to these questions.

Christianity is a topic that will continue to be debated for years to come.  However, to truly engage with God, we need to come to Him with simple childlike faith. Jesus said in Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.”  After weighing up all the tough questions Christianity presents, we simply need to embrace God as our Father as we are His children.
