In this thought-provoking message, Pastor Lisa Outar-O'Shea challenges us to reflect on our spiritual growth by distinguishing between being childish and being childlike in our walk with God. Whether you're a new believer or have been in the faith for years, this message offers encouragement and a challenge to embrace true spiritual maturity. Listen now and reflect on what it means to be childlike—not childish—in your journey with Christ.

Send us a textWhat happens when we strip away expectations and discover our authentic creative voice? Chris Folson's journey from atheist child to influential worship songwriter reveals powerful truths about creativity, faith, and finding your unique expression in a world that demands conformity.Growing up with entertainer parents, Chris absorbed creativity through osmosis while his grandfather's encouragement to question everything paradoxically led him toward faith. This fascinating background shaped Chris into a storyteller who views art as a vehicle for mystery rather than a platform for answers—much like the parables Jesus told that confused even his closest followers.Chris shares a startling NASA study revealing that while 98% of children aged 3-5 have creative genius potential, only 2% retain it by age 18. Through education and religious systems that value conformity over curiosity, we systematically unlearn our natural creative abilities. The revelation is both heartbreaking and hopeful: what if we could reclaim this lost creative innocence?The conversation takes a compelling turn when Chris describes discovering his authentic voice after years of professional musicianship. After being constantly instructed to "play like" famous guitarists, his role as a church music director ironically freed him to develop his own style. "In God's presence," he reflects, "I forgot who I was supposed to be and I became who I really was." This moment became a cornerstone of his artistic philosophy and coaching approach.For creators struggling with self-doubt, Chris offers this liberating perspective: "The world doesn't need another love song, but what the world needs is your love song." By embracing your unique viewpoint and releasing the need to be clever or successful, authentic expression emerges. Ready to rediscover your creative voice? This conversation might be the permission slip you've been waiting for.Support the showwww.greaterthingsinternational.com

Pastor Neil Bernard shares our 'inspire' message, "Childlike and a Yoke-Bearer". Who will be rejected? Who will be accepted? Do you have the attitude of a child? Do you think yourself wise? Children are in the moment, sometimes good and sometimes not so good. What childlike qualities is Jesus looking for? Do you need to wake up to yourself? Are you teachable? Are you seeking rest?

While we may well want to offer good programming to our children that directly speaks of our faith or essential Bible stories, we also want our children to learn how to live well in the world among neighbors, nature, and issues of the day. So in this episode, colleagues in ministry Sarah, Natalie, and Steve take a look at children's TV programs that aren't explicitly "Christian" but can be compatible with raising children with good social and emotional understanding, knowledge of the world, and how to deal with age-appropriate questions and situations. We'll highlight our impressions of shows like Bluey and Daniel Tiger as well as perennial favorites like Sesame Street on this week's episode of Crazy Faith Talk!

A new mishnah! Bikkurim - first fruits - and other special offerings where one who eats incorrectly and gets lashes. NOTE CLARIFICATION TO THE AUDIO: The issue of lashes upon eating the Bikkurim is specifically in the case that a kohen ate the offerings before the person who brought them recited the verses (two separate people (which wasn't clear, in listening to the recording). Plus other prohibited foods - like a korban Pesach, if it were left over night. Plus, the case of the mother bird and one who didn't send her away. Also, a discussion about whose opinion is represented in the mishnah -- Rabbi Akiva or Rabbi Shimon? With a deep dive into Rabbi Shimon's approach (via a very long baraita). Specifically with regard to eating specific foods outside of Jerusalem (what happens with Maaser Sheni, and the limitations on who can eat from it, for example).

In a new series for Eastertide, colleagues in ministry Sarah, Natalie, and Steve are looking at media that explore theme of faith or are compatible with faith for children--from TV and movies to books and other resources. We start taking a look at some classic faithful TV and video resources, exploring how faith formation includes not only Bible stories but also discipleship and how we teach our children to live out their faith as well. Listen in here for our newest episode of Crazy Faith Talk!

Palm Sunday: Be ChildlikeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this powerful and honest message, Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez challenges believers to move beyond childish Christian behavior and embrace the childlike heart Jesus honors. Drawing from Matthew 18, 1 Corinthians 13, Mark 10, and Hebrews 13, he exposes the subtle ways immaturity can damage spiritual relationships—especially when believers passively challenge leadership to justify offense. This sermon calls the Church to grow, not by becoming hardened or guarded, but by becoming more loving, trusting, forgiving, curious, and hopeful. Whether you've been a passive challenger, a weary leader, or someone longing for a purer walk with Christ, this message invites you to spiritual maturity by returning to the simplicity of childlike faith.Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez | April 8, 2025The Fountain Apostolic Churchone_ (2025)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plusChapters:00:00 Childlike vs. Childish: An Introduction03:04 The Nature of Childish Faith06:09 The Burden of Immaturity08:52 Building Bridges, Not Barriers11:50 The Heart of a Leader14:59 The Power of Childlike Faith18:04 Encouragement vs. Criticism21:03 The Importance of Trust and Openness24:07 Creating a Welcoming Environment26:51 The Impact of Immaturity on Relationships30:10 Healing Through Childlike Love33:25 The Impact of Hurt on Relationships34:06 Maturity and Childlike Heart35:39 Shifting from Toxicity to Tenderness38:02 The Power of Forgiveness41:40 Hope and Childlike Faith42:49 Embracing Childlike Joy45:50 The Role of the Church in 202549:10 Responsibility in Leadership56:41 The Lasting Impact of Our Words

Hey Friend! GET YOUR TICKET TO OUR NEXT LIVE EVENT APRIL 16TH! What does it truly mean to have child-like faith? In a world that tells us to question everything and rely on ourselves, Jesus invites us to surrender, trust, and believe without hesitation- just like a child. But how do we develop that kind of faith in our everyday lives? In this episode, Taylor and Kelley discuss: *what child-like faith really means: Matthew 18:3 *why God calls us to trust without fear: Proverbs 3:5-6 *the difference between child-like and childish faith *how to stop overthinking and start surrendering to God *personal testimonies of God's faithfulness in their lives Are you holding back from trusting God completely?  We often let fear, doubt, and past experiences c loud our faith, making it hard to believe like a child. But today, we're breaking down the mindset shifts, scriptures, and prayers you need to develop pure, unwavering trust in Jesus. Bible verses in this episode: *Matthew 18:3- Become like little children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. *Hebrews 11:1- Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance in what we do not see. *Proverbs 3:5-6- Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  *Mark 10:15- Anyone who will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, will never enter it.

In this episode of “That Will Nevr Work,” Maurice Chisholm discusses the importance of starting where you are and building a solid foundation for scaling your business

“One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him. When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”- Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone hung around your neck.”- Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭42‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Living Truth Christian Fellowship Podcast

Magician, Swiss Watchmaker, Aloof, Elegant, Precise, Soulful, Childlike, Naive, Warm: these are all words that have been used to describe Maurice Ravel, a man of elegant contradictions. But perhaps these contradictions are why his music remains so beloved and universally appealing to so many musicians and audience members. Ravel has long been one of my favorite composers, and I always adore listening to his music and performing it. For the 150th anniversary of his birth, the legendary publishing house of G Henle has decided to focus on Ravel and his circle this year, calling this series Ravel and Friends. A few months ago, the Henle office contacted me to ask if I would be willing to collaborate with them on a series of Sticky Notes episodes about Ravel, each one focusing on the relationship between Ravel and another composer who was in his circle. This sounded like an amazing idea, and so I jumped at the chance to work with them. So, over the course of the next 5-6 months, you will be seeing 5 episodes under the Ravel and Friends theme. Today's episode will be a chance to do an overview on Ravel himself and to take a look at some major works that I haven't gotten around to covering on the show yet. We'll then finish the show with an interview with the great pianist Boris Giltburg, as we discuss the solo piano verison of Ravel's La Valse, one of the most challenging pieces in the entire repertoire. Later episodes will include a look at Ravel's relationships with Debussy, Gershwin, and De Falla, and much more! This is such an exciting chance to take a deeper look at one of the greatest 19th and 20th century composers, as well as take a look at the broader musical and social trends of that era, something I've always been deeply interested in. Join us!

In this episode of The Normal Christian Life, Father Michael Trummer is joined by Miriam Johl and Mary Bielski to explore the theme of spiritual childhood and the profound importance of childlikeness in the spiritual life. Through personal anecdotes, scriptural insights, and heartfelt discussions, the team delves into the distinctive aspects of being childlike, such as joy, surrender, and playfulness. They reflect on the balance between childlike faith and mature responsibility, the power of joy and humor, and the significance of trust and surrender to God. This episode encourages listeners to embrace a childlike disposition, find joy in God, and foster a joyful, playful, and trusting relationship with the Heavenly Father.     00:00 Introduction and Technical Difficulties 00:32 The Importance of Spiritual Childhood 01:28 Childlike vs. Childish 02:57 Humility and Lowly Status in Spirituality 04:06 Aging and Childlikeness 06:01 Balancing Responsibilities and Joy 08:09 Trust and Worry in Spiritual Life 09:40 Playfulness in Saints' Lives 10:17 Simplicity and Humility 27:45 Joy and Expressed Faith 35:53 Unexpected Joy and Setting the Tone 36:40 Expressing Gratitude and Vulnerability 38:17 Creating and Sharing Joy 40:23 The Power of Humor and Joy 42:12 Cultivating Joy and Trust in God 47:13 Surrendering to God's Plan 51:50 Childlike Trust and Joy in Prayer 01:03:01 Concluding Thoughts and Prayer  

The Dawn of Unstoppable Blessing, part 7: Blessed are the Childlike Believers

“Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens.”Matthew 18:4 JUB

Coming to you from the Big Island in Hawaii on a lava flow! Chatting about how we still always have the ability to tap into the never ending flow of joy that is available if we allow our emotions to flow.

We continue our series about doubt by talking about what it means to have child like faith. 2/2/25 Discussion Questions How has your understanding of "childlike faith" been shaped by your own experiences in church or religious settings? Have you ever felt that your questions or doubts were unwelcome in your faith community? If so, how did that experience affect you? Do you resonate with the idea that American Christianity sometimes prioritizes feelings over intellectual engagement? Why or why not? In what ways do you see the tension between faith and doubt playing out in your own life? Do you think it is possible to have a vibrant, questioning faith? How does this sermon speak to that? How can we create church environments where both faith and critical thinking are valued? What practical steps can individuals take to cultivate a deeper intellectual life within their faith? How can churches better support those who are struggling with doubts or difficult questions about their faith? What are some ways to balance emotional experiences of faith with intellectual understanding? How might understanding "childlike faith" as humility change the way we interact with others, both inside and outside the church?

In this week's message, we begin our series “Kingdom Treasures” in the book of Luke. Pastor Eric Hovis teaches on a text with one main point: We need more of Jesus. This week we also see that… 1) Childlike faith is not an ignorant faith, but a dependent faith. 2) Christian maturity needs more of Jesus, not less. 3) God's resurrecting power shines most powerfully in our weakness.

The Lord calls us to have a childlike faith—but not a childish spirit. Today, R.C. Sproul explains how our confidence in God and trust in His Word relate to our growth in Christian maturity.
