Is The Bible Recap appropriate for kids?
Hello to all our TBR Parents! We recognize that every parent has a different standard for how they engage their children on a variety of topics. One of our values is to help you introduce everyone in your family to the depths in the Bible. Scripture presents some hard discussions sometimes (death, murder, rape, incest, adultery, demons, etc.), and it covers a lot of challenging topics. We never want to censor Scripture, so we aim to have conversations around its more challenging topics with openness and wisdom.
Much like many of the ancient Israelites whose male children memorized the Torah by age 12, we believe it has benefits for all those who engage with it, and we want to encourage people of all ages to dig into Scripture! As the parent of your child, we believe you are best equipped to determine how to handle the conversations Scripture brings up as your child approaches new or challenging topics.
You may notice that we’ve put a “little ears” warning at the top of some episodes. That occurs most often on days when TBR’s content digs a little deeper into the topic at hand. But if you want to be more detailed about what your child encounters, here’s what we suggest: On the days when you’re reading or listening to the Bible passage, if you notice that Scripture covers a topic you aren’t ready for your child to hear more about yet, feel free to hold off on reading / listening to / watching The Bible Recap until you’ve had a chance to review it for yourself and see if it suits your child’s needs.
The Bible Recap also offers two options for kids. The Bible Recap Kids Devotional is for kids who are learning to read (ages 6–8), and The Bible Recap for Kids is for those who are reading to learn (ages 8–12). Each book contains helpful activities and applications to help even the youngest readers understand and love God's Word!
