36. How to Teach Your Kids Who God Really Is: A Gentle Guide to “God Is Light”

Have your kids asked hard questions about God, His actions, or His goodness—and you weren’t sure what to say? Do you want your home to be a place where God’s Light brings clarity, peace, and stability to your children’s faith?

In this episode of Grounded Kids Resilient Faith, we address a common struggle Christian parents face: helping their children understand who God truly is. Many families hear mixed or harmful beliefs about God, especially related to suffering, sickness, or trials. 

Through 1 John 1:5–6, we explore the biblical truth that God is Light—completely pure, holy, and without any darkness. We walk through Scripture, stories, and real-life conversations to show how God’s Light brings healing, truth, and protection. 

This episode equips families with clarity, language, and confidence to root their homes in the unshakable truth of God’s character.

Blessings,
✨ Tricia
