When was the last time you approached God with pure, childlike trust?In today's episode, we'll explore the heart of Matthew 19:14 and uncover what it truly means to come to God with childlike faith. The conversation focused on how life's disappointments, delays, and pressures can make us guarded or self-reliant, often overshadowing the simplicity and openness God desires from us. Together, we'll reflect on how faith can remain soft, trusting, and dependent, even as we mature, and why true spiritual maturity should deepen our sense of wonder and reliance on Him.Join our community in prayer and devotion as we embrace childlike faith and invite God to soften our hearts today.Tap HERE to send us a text!

Speaker: Pastor Lorissa Medrano Childlike Faith | A Faith of Your Own Pastor Lorissa Medrano
In this "how-to" and "identity" episode we will talk about the power and essential nature of childlike faith is critical for living a victorious Christian life. Why is connecting with the Heavenly Father so important especially if you have had a bad father figure in your life? What are the OMNI Truths of God and how does that help you connect with and trust God as a safe and intimate Father? Jesus shares more insight into this topic by sharing lessons from the movies Bed Knobs and Broomsticks and Peter Pan. Dr. Patty shares a story and her lessons learned by having one walk-on-water experience with Jesus as an adult, and other as a child. And she shares her Missions Trip to the Inner Child experience and lessons from the Lord. Jesus takes you to a happy memory as a child so you can see, hear, feel and connect with Jesus as a child in your special place. And check out the links below for more childlike faith encounters including the Missions Trip to the Inner Child experience that Dr. Patty shared in this episode.

Guest Speaker: Mark Slomka Childlike Faith | How to Protect Your Identity in an Identity Theft World Mark Slomka
Who's the greatest? It's a question we ask about quarterbacks, pitchers, and point guards—but Jesus' disciples asked it about the Kingdom of Heaven, and His answer flipped their entire framework upside down.In this message from Matthew 18:1-6, guest speaker Jeff Stemple unpacks what happens when the disciples' quiet argument about status and rank finally bursts into the open, and Jesus responds not with a ranking, but with a child standing in the middle of the room. Jeff explores how greatness in God's Kingdom isn't measured by achievement, platform, or comparison, but through humble, childlike dependence on God.Along the way, Jeff digs into what it means to humble yourself before you're humbled, how what we value reveals what we actually believe, and why welcoming and protecting children reflects the very heart of Jesus. Whether you're wrestling with insecurity, control, or the constant pull to measure up, this message points to a different scoreboard altogether—one built on trust, not status.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm
Guest Speaker: Nate Gushwa Childlike | Faith That Keeps On Dreaming Nate Gushwa
Discover what true greatness really means in this transformative study of Matthew 18:1-4. When the disciples ask Jesus who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, He doesn't answer with a name—He calls a child forward. This episode explores how Jesus completely redefines greatness, measuring it not by power, achievement, or recognition, but by humility, awe, and childlike wonder. Learn why the world's definition of success is backwards and how to reclaim the openness, trust, and sense of wonder you may have lost. Through contemplative meditation and practical reflection, discover what it means to be childlike—not childish—and how approaching God and life with the awe of a child is the pathway to true greatness in God's kingdom. This episode will revolutionize how you measure success and what you pursue.
Jesus calls us to exchange self-reliance for the humble trust of a child.► Gather with us live online and in person every Sunday at 9:30a and 11:00a: https://live.fbcw.org/► Watch/listen to our services: https://fbcw.org/worship-with-us/► Give to help our mission: https://fbcw.org/give/

How do I have childlike faith? In this message from Pastor David Lindell, we are reminded that childlike faith rejects doubt, recognizes dependence on God, and asks boldly because our Father is good. Our prayer is that your faith would be renewed with simple trust, humble dependence, and bold confidence in God's goodness.

Erin doesn't have all the answers. She's not a deep diver, not an academic, not someone who can study her way through the hard questions. What she has instead is a childlike trust in a God who she knows is real, who she knows is there, and who she knows has it — even when she doesn't understand.Part 2 of Erin's Chip Lunch conversation picks up where Part 1 left off. After years of drifting in and out of church, Erin and her husband Chris found their way to Soul Revival: first to Kirrawee with her brother Pete, then to the small and eclectic Cronulla gathering. They stayed because Chris said something that stuck: maybe God put them there because the church needed them as much as they needed the church.Erin talks about what it's actually like to commit to a small church — the challenges, the deep relationships it creates, and the unexpected gift of raising two boys in a community where the adults treat them like real people in an intergenerational community. She talks about her brother Pete's longtime friendship with Matt Redmond, an old 1860s church building her family spent years restoring in the country, a husband who grounds her, and a dog named after Frank Sinatra.And when we ask what she'd tell her younger Christian self: just trust. Be open with God. You don't have to have all the answers. It's not a cop out, that's faith.

Childlike Faith | About Faith | Week 4 | Jared Callahan
Secure In His Love
Two men walk into the temple to pray, and Jesus says the one everyone despises goes home justified. That single twist from Luke 18 forces an uncomfortable audit of our own spiritual instincts: do we come to God listing our virtues, or do we come like the tax collector with nothing but honesty and a plea for mercy?We start with Jesus' call to persistent prayer, the widow who refuses to stop asking, and the question that lands like a warning shot: when the Son of Man returns, will He find faith? From there we slow down over the words, “O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner,” and talk about humility, repentance, and how easy it is to look fine on the outside while things decay behind closed doors.That connects directly to 1 Corinthians 7 and a practical conversation about Christian marriage, sexual self-control, and why Scripture treats intimacy and temptation as serious discipleship issues for husbands and wives. We also read Psalm 85 and Proverbs 13 as prayers for revival and truth, remember Medal of Honor sacrifice as a rebuke to cheap cynicism, and revisit a Second Continental Congress prayer that reveals how badly the founders wanted peace, virtue, and religious liberty under God.If you care about biblical prayer, humility, Christian marriage, faith and patriotism, and the spiritual roots of America, listen through to the end, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.#ChristianNation#BacktoGod#AmericanPatriotSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2
In this Part 1 "how-to" episode, we will look at some secrets to growing your faith. How can God become personal and real to you? And what happens in your life when He does? Jesus gives us a metaphor to help you understand what really satisfies your soul's basic needs. Dr. Patty shares three spiritual practices that effectively build on each other in this episode and will share two more in the Part 2 episode. Dr. Patty facilitates a more detailed special place encounter so those who already have a special place can see more and those who have not established one can learn from Jesus why He wants to meet them there in the Experience Jesus encounter time.

"Wayfinding is the cognitive and corporeal process and experience of locating, following, or discovering a route through and to a given space. It involves both thinking and physically moving through space. It isn't about signs, it's about HOW people navigate from Point A to Point B. It involves: orientation, route decision, route monitoring, and designation recognition" (travelwayfinding.com).On today's show, Spiritual Director, Deborah Gregory, author of "Spiritual Wayfinding: 33 Walking Meditations for Navigating Life with Embodied Wisdom," shares how a fractured ankle taught her to walk, both physically and spiritually, with God in fresh, new ways. She's named each of her 33 walks and invites us to experience the childlike wonder of silly walks, the freedom of yuck walks, the power of Poohstick walks, and so much more!Grab your tennis shoes and walk into a whole new way of finding God's love in your world.Links and Resources from this episodeVisit Deborah's website: Flourish Spiritual DirectionOrder Deb's new book: Spiritual WayfindingRevisit the podcast archives: E244 Jake Eagle, "How A.W.E.

Join Pastor Landon Churchill as we open to Luke 18:15-17 to uncover the profound necessity of "Childlike Faith." In this message, we explore two vital truths: the personal call to trust God with the open-handed dependence of a child, and the corporate call for the church to prioritize the next generation.
