We all have the tendency to look back at our childhood with rose-colored glasses. Decades later, we fail to remember the challenges we faced, even as our children face even greater challenges today. The world they are inheriting often feels hopeless, but that doesn’t mean they have to live without hope.
On today’s episode of the Great Stories podcast, David Wollen is joined by bestselling children’s book author Sally Lloyd-Jones to discuss how children can find hope in the midst of their own challenging circumstances. It’s a fascinating conversation filled with stories and the kinds of insights into God’s Word that children—and grownups—can believe in and latch onto.
