THE FIVE FINGER GOSPEL | A Handful of Truths to Lead a Child to Christ | Convo #5: Jesus Chose You!

A tiny voice in the back seat of a car asks for prayer, and a lifelong journey with Jesus begins. Host Tosha Williams opens with a vivid childhood memory to show how clearly a child can grasp the gospel—and how a simple tool, "The Five Finger Gospel," can help anyone understand and respond to Jesus. Each finger holds a truth you can carry anywhere: Jesus sees you, Jesus loves you, Jesus died for you, Jesus knows you, and Jesus chose you. It’s tactile, memorable, and grounded in Scripture, making it ideal for parents, mentors, and ministry leaders who want to share the good news with clarity and warmth.

In this final episode in this collection of conversations, we revisit the tender honesty of small sins and big grace, then turn to the thumb as a picture of salvation: God’s thumbs up to us and our thumbs up back to Him. With Jeremiah 1:5 and John 1:12 as anchors, we make the invitation plain without pressure—He has already said yes to you; will you say yes to Him? You’ll hear how a preschool decision matured into decades of discipleship and how the same truths can spark conversations at the dinner table, in the car, or at a hospital bedside. Along the way, we highlight the shift from Seek Him to Speak Him, echoing Titus 1:1: helping God’s chosen people believe in Christ more and more.

If you’re guiding a child, mentoring a teen, or reexamining your own faith, this conversation gives you language, confidence, and next steps. Try the hand motions, ask the heart-questions, and encourage simple, sincere prayer in a person’s own words. Then take the next faithful step into devotion-driven discipleship, where meeting with God overflows into making Him known. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope today, and leave a review to help others find "The Five Finger Gospel." Who will you lift a thumbs up with this week?

The devotion-driven discipleship guide that goes along with this episode can be found in the Family Disciple Me app. Coming soon!
