Kids Ministry Calling with Jana Magruder

19. Teaching Scripture Through Music and Worship with Ellie Holcomb

What if the songs we sing and the stories we tell could plant seeds of faith that last a lifetime? In this episode, we’re joined by the incredibly gifted Ellie Holcomb—singer, songwriter, author, and passionate advocate for nurturing children’s hearts through music and scripture. Ellie shares her personal journey of faith and creativity, and how it led her to write children’s books and songs that point kids to the hope we have in Jesus. You’ll hear about her latest book, Spring Sings, a beautiful reflection on themes of hope and resurrection even in seasons of grief. Ellie’s heart for partnering with parents and churches to teach kids about God shines through as she reminds us of the power of music in helping children memorize scripture and make meaningful, lasting connections with God’s truth. If you’re longing to create moments that shape a child’s faith journey—whether in the classroom, at home, or through music—this conversation will leave you inspired and encouraged!
