        <![CDATA[<p>In today's Gospel Briefing: Kids Edition, your family explores two real news stories made kid-friendly: heat warnings for this summer's World Cup across 16 North American host cities, and a longtime ethics teacher who admits even he doesn't always know the right answer. The takeaway for ages 5–12: we don't have to have every answer, because God is wise and good, and James tells us He gives wisdom generously to all who ask — anchored in Proverbs 3:5–6 (ESV).
