Customer Reviews
Super helpful podcast and program for teaching kids!
We have used the Uplift lessons with our family for a year now, and it has been so powerful! The podcast really helps you as the parent or adult to prepare to teach on the topic; I love the discussion Michelle, Amanda, and John have every week with each of their different perspectives. They are thoughtful and well-rounded. Thank you Uplift for another amazing resource!!
Wise words, simple answers
