Today’s Episode
Welcoming children just as they are is a counter-cultural practice that invites us to examine our values and what we believe about the kingdom of God.
In today’s episode, we’re joined by Kaitlyn Schiess, a theology student, podcaster, and author. Kaitlyn is also an enthusiastic advocate of children as vital to the life of the congregation. Kaitlyn talks with Lindsey and Ahyuwani about what this question shows us about what we might believe about the church, who we might be excluding, and what opportunities we might be missing as a result. Children share how they know someone likes having them around.
