“Telling God’s story to children is not an end in itself. While it’s surely important for children (and adults, for that matter) to gain a solid understanding of God’s grand narrative, it’s what we do with this story that really matters. When children realize that they are part of this story, that God’s story is also their story, that God’s story connects with their own expanding self-narratives, they become responsible for ensuring that the episodes in which they make appearances are faithful to the overall script that God has laid out and that they help move the story forward to the concluding eschatological scene.”
