It is to our peril that adults over-value our experience and wisdom to the undervaluing of children’s.

We easily dismiss children’s emotional outbursts as “tantrums,” but could the wailing over trophies, treats, or screen-time be pointing to something deeper? What if it’s “not about the medal” after all?

Friendship with a child can be a rich and healing thing for adult and child alike, but can you build such a connection in a safe and healthy way?

“the Mustard Seed, the Yeast, and the Growing Seed speak of the Kingdom in terms of something very small, so small that it probably escapes our notice. And yet it grows and changes into something very new and very great…Indeed, so great is this growth and transformation in living things that we cannot grasp it during its process of unfolding; it captures our attention when it is already complete in some sense. And this inspires awe.”
