I'm VERY proud of this new podcast we're launching at @FaithandChild! Featuring insight from real kids (my FAVORITE PART!) and experts in children's spirituality, The Child in Our Midst is designed to help adults recognize and celebrate God's work in the lives of kids they know.
Loved working with @lins_goetz, Ahyuwani Akanet, and @FaithandChild on this podcast. They were great clients with a big vision for creating a podcast that would reframe the way we think about the spiritual lives of kids.
I've learned a lot from them!
Our podcast is live today! If you're a parent or a ministry leader who wants to notice & celebrate what God is doing in the lives of the kids in your life, we invite you to check it out! https://t.co/fGgdGFsoSW
The Child in Our Midst is produced by @areacodeaudio
Discovered today that my church added a card in the pews that tells parents that their kids and their wiggles and noises are welcome but *before* that it tells the congregation that children are part of our community and that the way we welcome them is how we welcome God.
AMEN

"Theories abound about why children grow up and leave the church, but one that no one seems to spend much time on is the idea that, with good intentions, the church squanders the years when a child is interested in learning to belong, filling those years instead with entertainment, childcare, or age-segregated learning environments, which, although helpful, are no replacement for worship among the people of God." ~ Dr. @MimiLarson16 and @lins_goetz
