The Everyday Bible Study | September 17 | Let the Little Children Come to Me
In this episode of the "Christians Beyond the Classroom" series, Dean sits down with Andy Koesters, pastor to churches and families at FamiliesAlive and missional director for New River Presbytery, to discuss discipling the next generation. Andy shares the heart behind his book Let the Children Come, which he wrote primarily for elders and church leaders to equip them with a biblical vision for next-generation discipleship. The discussion highlights practical ways churches can unleash believers into discipleship through common interests rather than traditional program volunteering, the importance of elders truly shepherding and knowing their flock, and how parents can create environments where children feel safe to express doubts and questions from the earliest age. Andy challenges listeners to become students of what it means to be a discipler like Jesus—sharing the gospel and their own selves with affectionate desire for those around them.

On Youth Takeover Sunday, Youth Director Isaias Cardenas shares “Let The Children Come,” a powerful reminder that the way we welcome, influence, and invest in the next generation matters. Drawing from Jesus' words in Matthew 19, Isaias challenges us to remove the barriers that can keep children and students from experiencing Jesus and instead create spaces where they can ask questions, discover their gifts, grow in faith, and know that they belong. Our children aren't simply the church of tomorrow...they are the church today. Use this week's Sermon Reflection Guide to go deeper into the message and consider how you can help create space for the next generation to encounter Jesus.
Rachel preaches about Jesus’ promise that those who come to him like little children will never be turned away.

In this bonus episode, we welcome two Jesuit scholastics who are in formation for the priesthood, Ian Peoples, SJ, and Justin Kelley, SJ. They are both studying theology at Boston College and visited Del Camino Jesuit Border Ministries this summer. Ian and Justin talk about their motivations for coming to see the border reality and their initial reactions upon arriving, especially meeting families like Angie and her son Joxan that have been on the border for as long as two years. They share some of their favorite moments, like little Zoe falling asleep on Justin's lap during Mass and little Sofi grabbing onto Ian and not letting go (with one notable exception!). They talk about what it was like to witness the resilience of people amid the hardships of their journey and the joy that breaks through in our visits and the celebration of Mass.Brian begins the episode by providing some updates, including the recent Supreme Court rulings that are impacting migrants, like Haitians and Syrians who are losing their Temporary Protective Status (TPS). He talks about the new dynamic in immigration court of “mega master” hearings, including the story of Tania and her daughter who had to bus across the country when their court hearing was advanced by months with just days of notice. Brian also comments on the increase of ICE enforcement efforts and the fatal impact it is having, like the recent shootings of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine.Enjoy this bonus episode and stay tuned for Season 11 of the podcast to launch in the Fall.

The devotional centers on the profound significance of children in God's kingdom, emphasizing that Jesus welcomes them with love and authority, and that adults must not hinder their faith. It calls believers to nurture children's spiritual lives like a small flame, fostering prayer, trust in God, and early exposure to divine truth. Drawing from a personal story of adoption, the message highlights the spiritual responsibility of parents and grandparents to pray for children, break generational curses, and dedicate them to Christ, both privately and publicly. The narrative underscores that God often redirects lives through adoption and alternative family structures, as seen in biblical figures like Samuel, whose godly destiny was shaped outside his biological family. The devotional urges the church to embrace children with intentional blessing, prayer, and public dedication, affirming their vital place in God's redemptive plan.
