The Armor of God

One of my favorite Bible passages to teach my kids about has always been Ephesians 6:10-18.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. 

I mean, what child doesn’t love to envision themselves as a mighty warrior for God? And really, that’s who I want to raise: Mighty warriors for God.


Take your kids through the Bible in just three years! Try out Bible Road Trip™ with a free three-week sample pack.


I love that God gives us such great word pictures in Scripture, and the armor of God passion in Ephesians is for sure one of the most exciting.

Help Your Kids Learn and Love the Bible

Love the Bible for Kids | A resource you'll love!

You want your kids to learn and love the Bible. 

You want to teach the Bible…

As parents, we deeply desire the best for our kids. We look for the right schools, we make them eat right and exercise, and we get them involved in extracurricular activities. We take our job as parents seriously.

But are we also putting our time and energy into
teaching them the Bible? Giving them the life-changing, soul-nourishing words of Scripture is not only doable, it’s an essential part of parenting kids for Jesus. And the good news is, studying God’s Word as a family doesn’t have to be difficult!

2 Timothy 2:15, ESV, says:

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,
a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Our job, as parents who love Jesus, is to help our kids become approved workers, unashamed and rightly handling the word of truth.

The good news? Teaching the Bible isn’t hard. Your family can learn the Bible together.

…and you can!

A Crash Course in Teaching the Bible to Your Kids

Danika Cooley’s book, Help Your Kids Learn and Love the Bible, will give you the tools and confidence to study the Bible as a family. It will help you identify and overcome your objections and fears, give you a crash course in what the Bible is all about and how to teach it, and provide the guidance you need to set up a family Bible study habit.

You will finish this book feeling encouraged and empowered to initiate and strengthen your child’s relationship with the Lord through His Word.

    Wow! This is fantastic! As a boy-mom (and said boy LOVES Pilgrim’s Progress), I can see this is going to keep the rest of our summer packed full! Aside from the fun crafts, I love the tips on making an intentional effort to put on our armor each day – not only a fun thing to do, but learning the Word of God, prepping for our day ahead and also instilling a life long readiness to pick up our cross and follow the Lord!

    I had always just thought of soldiers from ancient/medieval times in general when thinking about the armor of God. For some reason, I had never connected that to the fact that Paul was a Roman citizen and, therefore, probably used to seeing Roman soldiers around. Thanks for making that connection for me! Also, thanks for so many great ideas!
