Truth Seekers: Bible Stories for Kids is a podcast for children (and adults) of all ages that journeys through the stories of the Bible. My name is Sherilyn Grant, and I am the host of the podcast. We start our way at the very beginning and walk our way through the Old and New Testament. The mission of the podcast is to help children see the individual stories of the Bible as part of one large story that reveals God's redemptive plan to rescue and restore us back to Himself. I pray that through the telling and reading of God's Word, you and your family will understand more clearly God's plan for salvation, His deep love for us, and how we can apply His truth to our lives.
