Truth Cards for Kids

We all struggle with the lies we tell ourselves:

• “I’m not good enough.”
• “No one loves me.”
• “I’m a failure.”
• “I am alone.”
• “I’m a mistake.”

The list could go on and on. Lies creep in quietly, but over time they get louder, more repetitive, and harder to ignore—until we begin to believe them.

But here’s the good news: lies are not the final word.

The Apostle Paul reminds us,
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2)

What if there was a simple, hands-on way to help kids replace lies with God’s truth and build unshakable confidence in who He says they are?

That’s why we created Truth Cards for Kids.

What Are Truth Cards?

Truth Cards offer children a tangible way to connect God’s Word with the thoughts that swirl in their minds. Each card is designed to stop a lie in its tracks and replace it with a bold, beautiful truth from Scripture.

• Front Side: A big, bold truth statement.

• Back Side: The lie kids often believe, and a Bible verse to defeat it.

• Material: Heavy cardstock with rounded corners and UV coating for durability.

• Size: 4.25” x 5.5” — perfect for hands big and small.

Our Deluxe Set includes 52 Truth Cards—and countless ways to use them!

Why Truth Cards Matter

The lies our kids battle every day aren’t small—they shape the way they see themselves, their world, and even God. But when children learn to recognize lies and replace them with God’s truth, they gain tools for life. Truth Cards make that process simple, hands-on, and powerful.

From bedtime routines to car rides, from classrooms to counseling offices, these little cards can bring big breakthroughs. They’re not just flashcards—they’re faith builders, equipping a generation to take every thought captive and walk in confidence of who they are in Christ.
