These are the stories with challenging words that are hard to describe to children. In this episode, Dr. Val and Dr. Virginia discuss ways to define difficult words and how you can answer those hard questions in a classroom setting.

Welcome!! Dr. Virginia invited Dr. Val to speak to the preschool leaders at a conference her church hosted last month. The conference break out was a very basic, introductory conference for leaders teaching Bible to preschoolers. Before the welcome dinner, Val shared a portion of that conference with some of Virginia's leaders that would be serving during the breakout sessions. Val's husband offered to record that quick overview so we could share it here on the podcast today. We hope you find the information presented helpful!
