đź“– Why I Wrote Brilliant Kids!
Thirty years ago, I stepped into children's ministry with a simple desire: to help kids know Jesus.
Over the years, I've taught Kids Church, led outreaches, directed camps, trained volunteers, and had the privilege of watching thousands of children come through our ministry. Along the way, I noticed something that deeply burdened me.
Many children knew the stories of the Bible, but they struggled to see themselves in God's story.
They knew David defeated Goliath. They knew Jesus died on the cross. But they weren't always confident about who they were in Christ or how to walk with God personally. More importantly, many didn't fully understand that because of the price Jesus paid for us, we now get to live from a place of victory.
So often, even as believers, we live as though we have to earn God's approval, strive for acceptance, or somehow achieve victory on our own. But the Gospel tells a different story.
Jesus has already won the victory.
As sons and daughters of God, we don't fight for victory—we live from victory. We don't have to strive to become who God says we are; we get to discover and walk in the identity He has already given us.
That's why I wrote Brilliant Kids: Raising Kids Who Live From Victory!
My prayer is that every child who goes through this curriculum will discover their identity in Christ, hear God's voice, pray with confidence, and learn to live from the victory Jesus has already won for them.
Because I believe children aren't just the future Church.
They are powerful kids in God's Kingdom right now.
