Can I Read That? Kids + Old Testament with Russell Meek

Do you love the Bible and want to teach it to your children, but wonder if some of the stories in the Old Testament are appropriate for young minds? How do we share the fullness of the Biblical narrative to them? In this special episode, we are joined by Russell Meek, who will guide parents on the journey of introducing the Old Testament of the Bible to their children without fear. Russell, a seasoned theologian and a parent himself, shares his profound wisdom on making this sacred text accessible and meaningful for young minds and hearts.

Russell L. Meek is associate professor of Old Testament at William Tennent School of Theology and also teaches Old Testament and Hebrew at Moody Theological Seminary. He writes a regular column on understanding and applying the Old Testament at Fathom Magazine, and his books include Ecclesiastes and the Search for Meaning in an Upside-

Down World and the co-authored Book-by-Book Guide to Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary. Russ, his wife, and their three sons live in the mountains of north Idaho.
