There are times when our culture, our country, and our world are captivated by what is happening in a moment's time. The current conflict in Ukraine is definitely one of those times in history. It seems that the news has been dominated by the anticipation of the Russian invasion and the events that have unfolded. There is no doubt that our kids are aware of what is taking place and most likely have a lot of questions. Not only do they have questions specifically about what is happening, but they probably also have questions related to God in light of what is happening.
So, how do we talk about these things with our kids? The Editorial Team at AWANA has provided a helpful resource to guide you through having a conversation with your kids.

We must remember that discipling our kids does not happen in a vacuum separated from the rest of the world. We can use this situation to not only calm our kids’ fears, but to help them view this type of world event through a biblical lens.
