Month: April 2026

Has Maycember taken over your house too? End of the year parties, programs, events, games, and more can overwhelm our calendars. But with summer just around the corner it’s important to think about ways to keep our kids engaged with God’s Word when all the school programs end.

We can help! The GO Bible can help your kids avoid the summer slump with fun and interactive ways to keep learning about God through his Word. We even have a new resource releasing this summer that will help keep kids off screens and have fun exploring the world around them.

Coming This Summer: Sunday Scribbles

Keep kids ages 7–11 engaged and growing in their faith with Sunday Scribbles, a year-long, screen-free journal that uses writing, drawing, games, and reflection to help kids listen closely, remember biblical truths, and build a meaningful record of their spiritual journey.

Here are some activities from the GO Bible for you to try:

Key Verse Challenges

Key Verse Challenges focus on a verse of the Bible and come with a fun, interactive challenge to help kids (and adults) remember and understand it. Here are few to try.

Factoids

Are your kids fans of fun facts, “Did You Know,” or “Weird But True”? Factoids point out interesting, strange, fun, and engaging facts about the Bible your kids (or even your friends) might not know are there. You can play your own “Did You Know” game using just a few of the many Factoids found throughout the GO Bible.

Interactive Reading

Sometimes when reading the Bible, kids can get lost or bored and start to disengage. The GO Bible was created to help kids know the Bible was written for them, too! First, it has the engaging New Living Translation text that helps kids not just read but also comprehend God’s Word. In addition to the who, what, where, when, why, and how of each Bible book introduction, there is also a “Seek and Find” section with four important points to look out for in that book of the Bible. It’s a way to keep kids’ ears open and minds engaged while helping them learn how to study the Bible.

“Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies.” Proverbs 31:10, NLT

Article from the Every Woman’s Bible

While reading Proverbs 31, many of you, like me, have probably cringed at what appear to be standards for women—and impossible ones at that. But we miss the point because the poem’s original structure is lost to us in translation, and because we are not all wives. But each of us can find inspiration from this woman to live with God-honoring excellence.

Imagine an older man sitting down three thousand years ago to write something to honor his wife on some special occasion: Starting with the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, he bases his writing on his mother’s teachings (31:1). He creates twenty-two phrases that describe the woman he loves with a lot of flourish and perhaps a bit of exaggeration.

Keep in mind he wrote this in a society that expected all women to be wives, mothers, and in charge of their households. How might we apply a similar idea today? Perhaps we need a new acrostic to honor a WOMAN.

She is:
Wise in business and at home,
Open to listen to others,
Mindful of those less fortunate,
Attentive to God’s Spirit
Neighborly—a friend to all she meets.

This, too, is an ideal that none of us entirely fulfills. So, how do you be “a virtuous and capable” (31:10) you? Try asking God how he sees you. Write an acrostic using the letters of your name. Using Scripture, pen how you are God’s beloved image-bearer and steward of creation (Genesis 1:26-28), daughter of God and heir to the Kingdom (Romans 8:17), gifted and called to serve God (Philippians 3:12-13), and more!
The good news is that God knows you. He calls you by name. And his Word shows us all how to live as women “who fear the Lord” and “will be greatly praised” (31:30).

Reflection Questions

How is God shaping you into a “virtuous and capable” person?
Does reflecting on how God sees you change how you view yourself?
