Meet the crew

Ellie, Theo and Dasch learn alongside your kids.

They don’t star in the Bible stories. God is the hero there. Instead they show up in every lesson to dig up facts, ask big questions, and live the lesson out at school, at home, and on vacation.

  • Ellie, 10Loves maps, facts and big questions. She asks "but why?" in the Think It Through questions.
  • Theo, 7Ellie's little brother. Funny, honest, and always living out the lesson in Real life today.
  • DaschTheir scruffy dog, always sniffing around for something to dig up. That something is a fact.

What we believe about teaching kids

Grace comes first. God is the hero.

Grace before obedience

Kids hear what God has done for them before they hear what to do.

God is the hero

David's courage came from trusting God. The lesson's hero is God, not David.

Faithful to Scripture

Stories told in kids' words without added events. Every verse cited.

Made for real classrooms

Glue sticks, paper plates and crayons. No screens or expensive kits.
