Kids Ministry Calling with Jana Magruder

Have you ever wondered if the Bible you’re handing to a child is the right fit for them? As kids grow and develop, so do their needs when it comes to engaging with God’s Word.

In this episode, we’re joined by Mary Wiley for an eye-opening conversation about choosing age-appropriate Bibles that truly connect with kids at every stage of their spiritual journey. Mary brings her deep passion for biblical literacy and her ministry experience to the table as she walks us through how to select Bibles that are not only theologically sound but also accessible, engaging, and tailored to a child’s developmental needs.

Mary shares her personal calling story and why fostering a love for God’s Word in children is one of the most important things we can do. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or ministry leader, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about the Bibles you place in kids’ hands.
