We've been taking a little break from memory verses and focusing more on worldview with Apologia's Who is God? book the past few weeks.
The recent lesson has focused on how we can know truth. We read a story about two boys discussing creation versus the big bang theory. The point was how silly it is to think that creation came together on it's own. A great illustration in the story was when the two boys got home and found brownies – could the brownies have made themselves? Or course not! Plus there was a note there saying that they were from Mom. Then Mom came home and confirmed that she had made them.
How can we know truth? How does God speak to us?
- Creation – The things that He made testify to the Creator.
- The Bible – God wrote us a note telling us the truth.
- Jesus – He sent Jesus to personally confirm the truth in Creation and the Bible.
This made so much sense to Jonathan. He laughed and laughed at the thought of brownies making and baking themselves. He regularly {maybe too regularly} helps me make brownies. There's a recipe in the book for making brownies to use as a hands-on activity to help drive the point home. If you need a gluten-free / dairy-free brownie recipe, I posted my black bean brownie recipe the other day.

Hi there! I was wondering if you could advise me! This is my first year homeschooling and I have a 6 year old (kindergarten) and a 3 year old (preschool). I loved what you wrote about apologia and wondered how old your kiddos are that you are going through that book with? I went to the apologia site and was a little confused as to what they would have for my age kids, if anything. Any help you can give would be great! 🙂 Thanks so much! Amanda
My kids are 4.5 and 1. Jonathan is very advanced for his age and became a Christ-follower this past spring. Who is God is for ages 6-14. Jonathan is doing well with listening to the text and using the coloring book. I pick some of the notebook pages to do but much of that is beyond him right now. We also use Apologia‘s Astronomy for science. Feel free to email me using my contact form.
