Sydney Sloth's Bedtime Stories (Lectio Divina for Kids)

Sydney Sloth's slow Bible storytelling is perfect for bedtime. Calm anxiety and pray a bible story. Stories coincide with the readings from the Revised Common Lectionary, so they can be used to prepare for Sunday or to reflect on what you heard in church the previous week. Close your eyes and settle in. Use your imagination to enter into the story and make it prayer. Don't be afraid to fall asleep while you pray the story. There is no better way to fall asleep than while talking with God. If you’d like to support the podcast you can buy me a coffee at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/SydneySloth
