What is WORD with Zach?

Here at Keys for Kids Ministries, we’re looking forward to launching our WORD with Zach free summer reading program! During the summer, our radio host Zach will lead your kids through reading both Keys for Kids stories and God’s Word.

The WORD with Zach summer reading program is meant to keep kids in God’s Word during the summer months. Our aim is also to increase biblical literacy in kids and help them grow in their relationship with Christ. During the summer, kids can read the day’s story and Scripture and check off the day’s box on the monthly calendar to keep track of their progress. This consistency keeps kids in the Word each day. Register now!

Why Are We Running this Program?

Kids need to read their devotional and more importantly their Bible!
  • The biggest factor in predicting kid’s spiritual health as young adults is whether they read the Bible regularly as kids (Lifeway Research).
  • In 2019, 48% of Americans said they interact with the Bible infrequently if at all and it has minimal impact on their lives (Barna).
  • Biblical illiteracy is staggering. Since the 1970s, the percent of people who believe the bible is only myths and fables has doubled from 13% to 26% in 2017 (Gallup).
  • Only 32% of Protestant churchgoers say they read their Bible every day (Lifeway Research).

WORD with Zach is designed to encourage daily devotions and, more importantly, daily BIBLE reading that will help not only fight biblical illiteracy but help kids have a passion for Christ through a deep relationship with Him.
