Can preschoolers really understand the big story of Scripture?

In this episode of Teach Biblically, Roger Erdvig and Maggie Pope are joined by preschool ministry leader Renee Blaine to explore how biblical worldview formation begins earlier than most schools realize. Far from "babysitting," preschool classrooms are a critical place to lay the foundation for how students understand truth, identity, and the story of the Bible.

Renee shares practical ways to teach young children the biblical metanarrative—creation, fall, redemption, and restoration—in developmentally appropriate and engaging ways. Through repetition, movement, storytelling, and simple visual tools, preschoolers begin to see how every Bible story fits into God's larger story—and how their own lives fit within it.

If we want students to grow into a strong, lasting faith, we can't wait until middle or high school. Formation starts at the very beginning.
