The King's Armor | 30 Family Adventures through the Armor of God

The King’s Armor is the perfect way to teach your kids about the armor of God with 30 Family Adventures through Ephesians 6:10-18.

As Christian parents, we want to teach our kids about God’s truth through his Word. We want our kids to understand:

Who God is
Who they are, and why they need a Savior
God’s great plan for salvation
Jesus’ commands for his followers

The Bible is not a boring book, and family devotions shouldn’t be boring, either. In fact, studying Scripture with our kids should be an epic adventure, one they remember for a lifetime.

That’s why family devotions should include fun activities, engaging Bible study and discussion, biblical prayers, and explanations that are true to Scripture and fascinating for your whole family.

You don’t just want to lead your family through family devotions. You want to take them on biblical family adventures they will never forget!

The Armor of God for Kids

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. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints…” Ephesians 6:10-18, ESV

As Christians who believe God’s Word, we want to teach our children how to stand firm for Christ. Believers are, after all, soldiers in a spiritual battle against cosmic powers. It is vital that our children understand unseen spiritual realities–in a non-scary, exciting way.

We don’t want to send our kids into battle unprepared. We want our kids to understand God’s spiritual armor for his people. Our kids need to know what each piece of armor means, how to wear it, and how to use it in their daily lives. Most important, we want our kids to understand the good news of Jesus Christ so that they may believe in Jesus and be saved.

You can teach your children about the power and security of Jesus’s victory in their lives with The King’s Armor: Gearing Up Daily with God’s Protection.

The King’s Armor: Gearing Up Daily with God’s Protection | Endorsements

The

The King's Armor | Crystal Bowman Endorsement

“I remember reading about the armor of God as a child and picturing a knight fully equipped with all the shiny pieces. I thought it was pretty cool, but I didn’t really understand what each piece meant or how they applied to my spiritual life. Danika Cooley breaks it down into bite-size devotions that will help children understand the meaning of this familiar passage and how to make it relevant to everyday life. The spiritual battles we face are real, and the armor of God equips us to not only face our battles but to conquer them. The King’s Armor is more than a family devotional to be read and put back on a shelf. It can be read over and over to empower children of all ages (as well as adults) to fight the good fight and claim the victory we have in Jesus.”

The King's Armor | Pastor Keith Foskey and Jennifer Foskey Endorsement

“As parents, we are always looking for resources that will enrich our family worship and devotional time. The best tools do more than simply give us another story to read, they actively engage our children, encourage meaningful interaction, and faithfully point them to the truth of God’s Word.

The King’s Armor by Danika Cooley does exactly that. This thoughtful devotional walks families through the Armor of God with clear, biblical teaching while providing creative, hands-on activities that reinforce each lesson. Rather than simply explaining Scripture, it helps children experience and remember its truths in ways that are both enjoyable and meaningful.

One of the things we especially appreciate about this resource is Danika’s commitment to handling God’s Word with both theological faithfulness and practical wisdom. She presents biblical truth with clarity and accuracy while making it accessible and engaging for young hearts and minds.

We are pleased to recommend The King’s Armor to parents, grandparents, homeschool families, and children’s ministry leaders. We believe it is an excellent resource for anyone seeking to disciple children in a way that is biblically sound, interactive, and Christ-centered.”

The King's Armor | Hunter Williams Endorsement

“Danika Cooley has created a fun, engaging devotional that helps families dive into the truth of Scripture together without watering it down. Through thoughtful questions and meaningful activities, The King’s Armor helps kids and parents move from simply learning about the armor of God to actually putting it on and standing firm. It’s a wonderful resource for families who want to grow in faith and learn to follow Jesus in an ever-changing world.”

The King's Armor | Jay Payleitner Edorsement

(Even for you, Mom and Dad!) I challenge you to make The King’s Armor your next—or your first—family devotional.”
