Behind the Scenes: Enjoy Notes an Eight-Year-Old Took During My Presentation

I recently had the privilege of traveling to California for Dr. John MacArthur’s memorial service. While I was there, I also had the privilege of speaking at two services at Kindred Community Church Anaheim. After one of the services, an eight-year-old girl showed me the notes she took. I thought you would enjoy seeing them.

Her notes and enthusiasm to learn from God’s Word reminded me of why we produce so many resources for children—we want to equip them (and their parents and grandparents) so generations of godly offspring can be raised up in this nation. Some of our kids resources you may find helpful for your own children or grandchildren include:

We want to equip children (and their parents and grandparents) so generations of godly offspring can be raised up in this nation.
  • Our newly redesigned Kids Answers website featuring articles, videos, games, puzzles, and so much more to engage kids with apologetics and biblical worldview teaching—and it’s all free.
  • Kids Answers, our 32-page kids magazine featuring fascinating animal facts, apologetics and biblical worldview teaching, stories, activities, and more. Kids love it!
  • Answers TV, our streaming platform, has a variety of shows just for kids. Each is designed to point them to their Creator and answer the questions of our day.
  • Creation Museum and Ark Encounter admission is free for kids 10 and under in 2025.
  • And we have so many other resources (including homeschool and Sunday school curricula, VBS, and more), but I’ll end with a brand-new one: Justin & Jessie Discover Bible Truths (book two of the Justin & Jessie series). This collection of fun stories, featuring everyday adventures, teaches children timeless truths from God’s Word in a fun, memorable way.

Recent Travels

Like I mentioned, I was in California for the memorial service for Dr. John MacArthur. Do you recognize any of the others in this photo with me?

Right after my speaking events in CA, I spoke a number of times at a conference at the Billy Graham Training Center at the Cove in North Carolina.

People were hungry for our Answers in Genesis resources at both places. I love to see all the resources going out to impact individuals, families, and churches. Over the years, millions of AiG resources have gone out into the world, and what an impact they have had!

Wherever I go these days, I hear of people who were impacted by AiG as kids and are now impacting congregations as pastors, impacting their children with that generational legacy, or being more bold for Christ in witnessing to others.

Praise the Lord for how he has used Answers in Genesis to equip Christians to defend the Christian faith and challenge non-Christians with the truth of God’s Word and the gospel.

When I returned home from speaking at the Cove for three days, I spoke at some of our 40 Days of Christian Music Festival concerts, happening at the Ark Encounter. Today, September 6, is the last day of the festival, and we’re ending with a concert from Crowder.

It has been a busy time! But I’m so thankful for these opportunities to present truth.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
