This week on the podcast, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer welcome author Caitlin Carlson to discuss her new Christian children’s book, How Do I Get to God’s House? A Kid’s Guide to the Bridge to Life.

Beautifully illustrated and written for young readers, this gospel-centered picture book follows a curious child on a heartfelt journey to discover God’s house. Through engaging storytelling and child-friendly explanations, kids learn foundational biblical truths about God’s love, the problem of sin, and the life-changing gift of grace through Jesus.

With relatable questions and simple illustrations, How Do I Get to God’s House? helps children understand:

What “Mess-Ups” (sin) are and how they separate us from God
The Big Lie that broke our connection with God
The incredible story of Jesus—the One who built the Bridge back to God

This unique resource offers parents and caregivers:

A clear, age-appropriate explanation of the gospel and salvation
A fresh retelling of the classic Navigators “Bridge to Life” tool
A gentle, hope-filled way to introduce kids to God’s redemption story

If you’re looking for a Christian picture book that points children toward faith, hope, and God’s love, How Do I Get to God’s House? is a powerful tool to spark meaningful conversations and nurture your child’s spiritual growth.
