If you were given 6 minutes and 40 seconds to speak about anything you wanted to a gathering of Christian educators, what would you say? 20 slides of your choosing will play along with your talk. That was my charge for the 2014 Faith Forward Conference<\/a> in Nashville in May. You won\u2019t be surprised to hear that I spoke about the importance of interpreting biblical violence with our children and youth. Below you\u2019ll find a video of the slides with a voiceover of my talk.<\/p>\n You also won\u2019t be surprised to hear that 6 minutes and 40 seconds was not enough for me to say everything that was on my mind and heart! So I wrote some articles on Christian formation and biblical violence which I\u2019ll link to here: Part 1<\/a>, Part 2<\/a>, Part 3<\/a>, and Part 4<\/a>. If you work with children and youth, either as a teacher or parent, I\u2019d love to hear from you. How do you handle violent bible stories with your children?<\/p>\n
