What do you wonder about God? Have you ever been curious about why God made you the way He did? Ever wondered what God thinks about you? In Wonder Ink, I get to ask questions like these. They build my faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wonder is where it all begins. Ink is God&#8217;s truth written on our hearts. We&#8217;re all on a journey together to discover our identity in Christ through God&#8217;s Big Story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus was talking about kids when He said, &#8220;The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these,&#8221; but kids don&#8217;t discover their individual identity as being His kids on their own. That&#8217;s why Wonder Ink empowers kids to discover the fullness of their identity in God&#8217;s Big Story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>God knows me. Jesus loves me. The Holy Spirit leads me. I am a child of God.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Curiosity Meets Belief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wonder Ink makes room for big questions and big ideas, while leaving no doubt about who God is or who we are in Him. Every lesson focuses on one of these core values: God knows me. Jesus loves me. The Holy Spirit leads me. I am a child of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wonder Ink is interactive and engaging with games, object lessons, discussion questions, and more. But it&#8217;s not just for church. It invites families to grow in their faith, together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s time for all of us to ask big questions, be curious, explore big truths, and be wonderfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
