@kkdumez @_robinmturner Try. Like to try...

[{amos.j.r.shelley} @4AMJesus]

@kkdumez @_robinmturner Yes. I would.

@_robinmturner @kkdumez (I am relatively new to Tweeterdom. NOOB!)

What I mean to say, is that a theology of adults-as-kids can remove the adulting barriers that so oft lead to exclusion. Through a lens of childlikeness (ie., we are all God’s kids) we are all - already a family.

A family of families.

[{amos.j.r.shelley} @4AMJesus]

@_robinmturner @kkdumez Your dissertation sounds incredibly fascinating! Are you at a point to share?

[{amos.j.r.shelley} @4AMJesus]

@_robinmturner @kkdumez Absolutely. Though I would argue not ministry by, for, or to children. We adults must (be like) children.

Tell stories; don’t preach (ie., the Good News [is/as story]). Seek wonderment over dogma. Generational collaboration over segregation. Narrative over ideology.

Be kids!

@AgapeEurope @esaumccaulley @TyndaleHouse Thanks! It was a lot of fun to put together! And actually, both the whale and figure were my mockups for placement and light. Not intended to be the standing characters. But it worked beyond my hopes!

@danwhitejr @realkimstover Institutions > people.
Institutional self-preservation > needs of the family (aka the church).

We aren’t friends. But add me to your tally. #29

@erikaannemills @philvischer Imagineer! I love it! If only could all be imagineers! And yes - certainly. I am passionate about church being a family of families. A sociological counter-force in an ever-changing world! And I do love to create. Converging those passions is my passion!

Just a quick thought on Family Ministry in the Evangelical Church.

‘Far worse to speak your voice to arise fear in others.’

Wisdom is knowing when to choose.

Dreams that one day I will be reunited in the land of my kin.

You have something I want. You may think you have some idea what you are in possession of, but you do not. Soon, he will be back with me. He means more to me than you will ever know.

1 Adult + 2 Kids x love of Mando & Jesus = escape from Nevarro with precious cargo.

This is the way.
