SOAP is a practical and personal way to engage with Scripture. It stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. As you walk through each step, we encourage you to journal your thoughts. Writing things down helps you remember what God is teaching you and creates a space to reflect on His faithfulness over time. S – Scripture Start by reading a passage of Scripture—don’t rush it. Take your time and invite God to speak as you read. Highlight or write down one verse that stands out to you. This is the verse you’ll focus on during your SOAP time. O – Observation What is happening in this verse? What stands out? Ask the Holy Spirit to give you insight and understanding. Think about what God might be trying to show you. Then, write the verse in your own words and describe what you observe. What’s the context? Who is speaking? What truth is being revealed? A – Application Now make it personal. Ask yourself: “How does this apply to my life today?” Maybe it speaks to a current situation, a mindset shift, or something God is asking you to do. Be honest and specific as you write. The goal is to live out what you’re learning, not just read it. P – Prayer Finish by praying about what you’ve read. Ask God to help you apply it, to change your heart, or to give you strength to follow through. Write your prayer down, and be sure to take a moment to listen. God often speaks when we slow down enough to hear Him.

< Back The Whole-Brain Child NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller The authors of No-Drama Discipline and The Yes Brain explain the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures in this pioneering, practical book. “Simple, smart, and effective solutions to your child’s struggles.” -Harvey Karp, M.D. In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight , and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The authors explain - and make accessible - the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures. The “upstairs brain,” which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids throw tantrums, fight, or sulk in silence. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child’s brain and foster vital growth. Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles, The Whole-Brain Child shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives.

< Back Strong Enough To Last The Barna group recently released shocking statistics: Less than half of born-again teenagers (44 percent) say they are absolutely committed to the Christian faith. Only one in every three teens (33 percent) say they are likely to continue to participate in church life once they are living on their own. These alarming numbers bring all kinds of questions to mind: · What can the church do to develop spiritually strong kids? · How can Kids Ministry Leaders work with parents to keep kids in church? · What tools will help us provide adequate spiritual training? With over thirty years of kids ministry experience, David Boyd is a reliable source for answers to questions like these. Based on eight major goals, he provides insight and information on how to help kids become believers who are strong enough to last the most difficult challenges of life.
