How to Talk to Children About the Coronavirus // Ask Pastor John

A video published by Desiring God on March 31st, 2020

Little hearts need the hope and security of a big God. What can parents tell kids and teens in the middle of a pandemic? Welcome back to the podcast. This is another special episode related to current events. We don’t plan to dedicate a lot of episodes to the coronavirus pandemic, but we will today, specifically speaking to youth. Pastor John is with me from his home office. Just a few weeks back, I spoke to a youth group in Frisco, Texas — a hundred or so students packed together in a little room to talk about smartphones and social media habits. It was a great time. But I started by asking how many of them knew what Ask Pastor John was. And I think every hand went up. It was shocking. I wasn’t expecting it. So, I think a lot of kids and youth listen to this podcast, and I suspect that’s because so many parents listen to episodes in car rides around town. So, let’s talk directly to those youth. You have fourteen grandkids. Become Grandfather John for a moment. What do you want to say to them in this season about God and coronavirus?
