What do we really mean when we teach our children the lyrics to the sweet, familiar song Jesus Loves Me? How do we teach them about love? Is it the same as mom and dad’s love? No! What we are talking about here is Agape Love: the unique love of God. How do we share that? Model that? Distinguish God’s unique love with our children? Dr. Megan Clunnan is here on CarSeat Questions to chat with us all about God’s love.

MINE MINE MINE! If you’re a parent, you may have heard this word emphatically insisted by your little one. The concepts of ownership, sharing and generosity can be really hard to teach and ultimately, hard for children to understand. So where do we start? How can we begin instilling generosity in our children at a very young age? How does a child’s reception to sharing as a 2 year old influence their willingness for gospel generosity as an adult? Join us for a conversation with Dr. Gregg Quiggle to find out.
