Hey friends! In this special solo episode (with some very sweet guest voices), I’m exploring what it really means to have childlike faith. We’ve all heard Jesus say to become like children, but recently, through study, conversations, and even music, I’ve started to see His words in a new way.
Before I dive in, I want to give a special shoutout to my cousin Max Lynch, the talented designer behind the Words of the Wise cover art. PLEASE DO NOT COMPLIMENT HIM ON IT. HE DOES NOT LIKE ATTENTION! BUT, I had to brag on him just a little! His drawing of a family meal set and ready perfectly reflects the anticipation of sitting at the Father’s table—and it beautifully ties into today’s theme.
From discipline talks with my dad, to clips from some of my favorite young voices Beau Lynch, Harper Griffis, and Roland Lynch, to mentions of Forrest Frank’s joyful Child of God album—this episode is full of reminders that faith is both trust and delight.
