“God Said”: Helping Kids (and Grown-Ups) Remember Who They Are in Christ
Posted in At This Table
When a child hears a lie about who they are, what truth from God’s Word do you want ringing in their ears?
In this heart-to-heart episode ofAt This Table, Shelly sits down with children’s book author Jennifer Simmons to talk about her beautiful book, God Said—a simple, Scripture-rooted devotional that helps kids plant deep identity roots in Christ.
Jennifer shares how an anti-bullying presentation opened her eyes to the identity crisis many children face, and how God led her to create a tool families can use every day: seven short truths (“God said I’m loved… chosen… protected… known…”) each paired with Scripture, a simple prayer, and easy application.
Together, Shelly and Jennifer explore why repetition matters, how early Scripture memory shapes confidence and character, and why this message heals grown hearts, too. If you’re a parent, grandparent, teacher, or mentor, this conversation will equip you to speak life over the children you love—and to receive it for yourself.
