Simply Joyful Podcast — Family Devotions with Louie Giglio

I wanted to kick this year off with a bang, so not only did we release two episodes today, but I’m chatting with none other than Louie Giglio about family devotions and the importance of giving our kids a sense of “awe” of God. I wanted to start the year off with this episode so that you can arm yourself with some great tools, such as Louie’s new book How Great Is Our God: 100 Indescribable Devotions about God and Science.

I know that you're going to love this episode with Louie! Get ready to be encouraged!

 In this episode of the Simply Joyful Podcast we discuss:

• Passion Conference 2020 — 65,000 18-25-year-olds will gather in Atlanta for this conference Louie has been a part of for 23 years!
• Louie has a new children’s devotional, How Great is Our God! You guys, I was geeking out over this devotional! I love how Louie brings in science to show how awesome our Creator is!
• Why Louie made the shift from writing for adults to writing for children.
• Louie shares some tips on how to use How Great is Our God
• Have you ever heard of Laminin? Louie shares a little about this amazing molecule and talks and little about science and faith.
• Louie and I exchanged college stories — I attended Pepperdine and Louie attended Georgia State
• We chat about how science is really just God wow-ing us.
• Did you know Butterflies smell with their feet? What about the Goldilocks Zone? Louie talks about his favorite parts of the books.
• I asked Louie for tips for sharing how we can help our older children have those “ah-ha” moments with God, and to take the faith we’ve had as a family and make it their own?
