HEY KIDS! WELCOME!

Hello Moms and Dads!

From my family to yours! As a dad, I know parenting isn't easy. As a son, I know how much I appreciate the intentionality of my parents when I was young.

PastorKarl.com is designed for kids - but it is most effective when parents are actively involved. Kids today are pretty media savvy - from their own devices they have frighteningly easy access to whatever they want. This site/app is designed to offer something fun, positive and uplifting while helping kids get to know, love and serve the God who made them, and loves them.

Watch with your kids! After a video, you can casually interact with them in intentional guided conversations to help them learn.

3 EASY QUESTIONS

After watching a video - whether a full service or short fun skit - ask your kids:
  1. WHAT DID YOU LIKE?
  2. WHAT DID YOU LEARN?
  3. HOW CAN YOU LIVE IT?
Simple questions like this can give you a glimpse into their hearts and minds and help you discover the best way to have an intentional and meaningful conversation with your child.  Don't quiz, just inquire. We grow and learn the most through conversation, not lectures. So don't teach, just chat, listen, suggest and most importantly, listen. Ask follow up questions to increase your understanding of their thoughts and to take the discussion deeper. Be sure to share what you are learning so that your kids know that you are learning and growing too!

There are a LOT of helpful resources on this site/app designed to help you be intentional in fostering  spiritual growth in your kids. If there is a way I can help you, a resource you are looking for, or suggestions/feedback on how I can make PastorKarl.com better, do let me know!
