110 | How A Working Mom Can Model Courage, Helping Your Child Face Fear with Faith | with Guest MeKael Black

What can you do when your child feels afraid—and you’re still learning to face fears of your own?

In this guest episode of Simple Devotions for Children, Samantha talks with children’s author and The Fearless Conversations podcaster MeKael Black about helping children know who they are in Christ.

MeKael shares how her family encouraged her through swimming lessons and public speaking, and how her children saw her pray, lean on Scripture, and take brave steps.

You’ll also hear how a children’s book can open a conversation about fear, and one simple idea you can try this week: choose a short Bible verse, talk about it together, and return to it when a challenge comes up.

Three tips you’ll learn:

1. Let your child see you turn to God. MeKael shares how her children watched her pray, lean on Scripture, and take brave steps through swimming lessons and public speaking.
2. Use a story to start the conversation. A children’s book can make it easier to ask what your child is afraid of and talk about it together.
3. Choose one short Bible verse for the week. Talk about what it means, repeat it when challenges come, and ask your child how it helped.

You don’t have to have all the answers to begin. One honest conversation and one small step can help your family grow closer to God.
