Ways to listen
How do we know if kids are paying attention? What ways of participating in church actually “count”? Do questions like this help us or make it harder for us to connect with our kids around faith?
Dr. Robin Barfield, a lecturer in children’s ministry from the UK and a parent of four, talks with Lindsey and Ahyuwani about questions of agency, artistry, and responding to God.

If we're made in the image of God, being spiritual isn't just doing the unseen things. Children have been given so many gifts, and part of discipleship is using their gifts in service of the Lord Jesus.
