Welcome back to the Coffee and Bible Time podcast.

This is Ellen, your host.

Many of us have heard ideas about heaven that make it sound distant or boring or confusing, especially for our kids.

Whether it's being told heaven is all about floating on clouds or that it's an endless worship

service, these images don't expire excitement and the hope that the Bible promises.

In this episode, Jordan Rayner is here to change that. His new book, The Royal in You, gives us a clear, more joyful picture of

heaven rooted in scripture. He shows us how to help our kids understand that heaven is not only filled with the best parts

of earth, but that we'll be working, exploring, and reigning with Christ forever. We'll learn practical

steps to help our kids embrace this biblical hope for heaven. We'll also explore key passages

that answer the most common questions kids ask about

heaven. When we miss out on this teaching, our kids can grow up with a sense of dread about

their eternal future, and that can weaken their faith and excitement about God's promises.

So let's start today by shifting how we talk about heaven with the young ones in our

lives, pointing them to the joyful, hope-filled truth of what God has prepared for us.
