Thanks so much, @AJWTheology, for taking the time to read and thoughtfully respond to our book. It's truly humbling. I've loved your brilliant work for years.
Maybe sometime we can have a spot of tea and talk about the Good Samaritan. 😉

Christian leadership must become a place where the immediate is outweighed by transcendence. The practical by presence. Relevance lies to us saying, “I am what I have.” Contemplative prayer reminds us that before we could ever love, we are loved.

What @RootAndrew talks about in this podcast on Childrens ministry / KidMin is exactly what @samluce @MikeHandler and I talk about in Forming Faith by @MoodyPublishers. Worth the listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Excessive innovation leads me to have a soul unsatisfied with what God says is “Good” and to chase what Collins says is “great.”

@samluce and @hunter_disciple Williams join Practice Makes Parent to discuss theology and its importance in both religious education and practical life application. They also talk about the lack of theological training resources for children's pastors and techniques for teaching complex concepts like the Trinity to children. They highlight the importance of catechisms and emphasize teaching theology through lived experience and scripture.
