Helping Children Read and Understand the Bible | Inductive Study Made Simple

The Bible is the foundation of our faith, yet it’s often misunderstood or misapplied. How can parents help their children not only read the Bible but also interpret it correctly? In this episode of the Gospel Shaped Family Podcast, Josh and Jen Mulvihill share biblical principles and practical tools for guiding children into a faithful understanding of God’s Word.

You’ll learn how to teach observation, interpretation, and application through inductive Bible study. Josh and Jen explain why context matters, how Scripture interprets Scripture, and how to avoid twisting verses to fit our own ideas. They also highlight the importance of family discipleship practices that anchor children in truth rather than confusion.

Discover simple steps and study tools—commentaries, dictionaries, concordances, and atlases—that can equip your children to handle God’s Word with confidence and grow in wisdom.
