Christianity has become known for judgy people, strange words, confusing rules, and a members-only mindset. This is why I stayed away from the church for so long, but it’s not supposed to be that way. I’m Jill Devine, a former radio music personality with three tattoos and a love for a good tequila. Join me on the Normal Goes A Long Way podcast where we seek answers to real questions with real people about how faith and life intersect.

Today we are learning about the Holy Spirit. Parents, want to keep talking? Here are some ideas:
Ask: What did God give his people? (the Holy Spirit to live inside them) Who can receive the Holy Spirit? (Everyone who believes in God) The Holy Spirit gave Jesus' disciples the power to speak in other languages. Teach your child a few words in another language. (ages 2-5)
This chapter of The Story says Jesus's followers had hearts that were glad and honest and true. How do you think they showed that? Talk a little bit about being glad, honest and true. If you could always live that way, how do you think people would look at you? (ages 6-9)
As faith grew in the early church, so did persecution. Peter and John were beaten and arrested. Stephen was stoned to death. Why didn't Christ's followers just give up and hide? Why do you think faith thrives when there is persecution? Do you think being a Christian is too easy where you live? What's the hardest part? (ages 10-12)
One last thing! This week April asked, "What do you want people to KNOW about Jesus?". Simply record a voice memo and send it in a text to 636-280-5433. You may even be featured in an upcoming episode. *By sending in a voice memo, you're providing consent for your minor's voice to be on the podcast*
