• S8Ep6: Deep Breath Little Whisper - Praying Every Little Word Your Heart Wants to Say 16.02.2026 36хв

  This week on the podcast, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer sit down with author and pediatrician Dr. Scott James to talk about his new children’s picture book, Deep Breath, Little Whisper.In a world where many kids feel anxious, overstimulated, and constantly on the go, Dr. James offers families a calming, faith-centered approach to peace through prayer. His latest book, Deep Breath, Little Whisper (releasing February 10, 2026), introduces children to the practice of breath prayers, a simple spiritual habit that teaches them connecting with God can be as natural as taking a deep breath.This beautifully illustrated story encourages young readers to pause and reflect, reminding them that God hears every word, sigh, and need. Through relatable everyday moments, the book shows that prayer does not need to be long or complicated to be meaningful; it simply needs to come from the heart. Parents and caregivers looking for Christian parenting resources, faith-based children’s books, or tools to help kids manage anxiety will find practical encouragement in this conversation.“Prayer can meet children right where they are, in the middle of play, worry, or wonder,” says Dr. James. “As a pediatrician and a dad, I’ve seen how small habits of prayer can bring deep peace to a child’s heart.”While many Christian children’s books encourage prayer, few highlight the historic tradition of breath prayers, a rhythmic way of pairing short prayers with intentional breathing. Dr. James offers a kid-friendly introduction that helps families experience spiritual connection together in daily life.Serving as both a physician and church elder at The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama, Dr. James brings a unique perspective that bridges children’s emotional well-being and spiritual formation. As he shares in the episode, today’s world can feel fast and loud for kids, but intentional moments of prayer help families slow down, breathe deeply, and remember God’s presence.Megan Dobson, vice president and publisher at Zonderkidz, describes the book as a meaningful resource for families seeking to nurture faith at home. She notes that its gentle approach helps children encounter God in everyday moments and carry prayer with them through both joyful and challenging experiences.Tune in as Mike and Tricia explore practical ways parents can introduce prayer habits, support children’s emotional health, and cultivate faith in daily routines through conversation with Dr. Scott James.------------------------------------------------------The Bible for Kids is now a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, and we'd love to have you join us in our mission of reaching kids with the message of the Bible.
