Keep God at the center: Always highlight what the passage reveals about God’s character and nature before moving to human response. (See Chapter 7 of Feeding Faith.)
Strengthen scope & sequence: Map your teaching plan so kids see the big story of Scripture, not just random lessons. (See Chapter 8 of Feeding Faith.)
Encourage leaders to share one real-life example each week of how they’re living out the Big Idea so kids can imitate what they see. (See Chapter 12 of Feeding Faith.)
End each lesson with one specific, real-life action that kids can take this week. Not a general principle like “be kind,” but something concrete like “invite someone to sit with you at lunch.” (See Chapter 12 of Feeding Faith.)
This week, ask three open-ended questions and wait for kids to answer before you respond. (See Chapter 14 of Feeding Faith.)
Add a simple gospel connection to each lesson so kids see how every story fits into God’s plan to rescue and redeem through Jesus. (See Chapter 16 of Feeding Faith.)
Write out a simple, age-appropriate explanation of what it means to follow Jesus (1–3 sentences) and keep it printed inside your Bible. Share it at least once a month during large group. (See Chapter 16 of Feeding Faith.)
At regular intervals, give kids clear, age-appropriate opportunities to begin a relationship with Jesus—and pray with those who are ready to take that step. (See Chapter 16 of Feeding Faith.)
Build in a Response Time—moments of prayer, journaling, artistic expression, or Bible reading—so kids have space to respond personally to what God is doing in their hearts. (See Chapter 17 of Feeding Faith.)
Choose one identity truth (loved, forgiven, child of God, never alone, etc.) and speak it aloud over the group every week—use the same phrase for a full month. (See Chapter 18 of Feeding Faith.)
