Kyle, and side kick Josiah Rios, interview author and Children's Pastor Hunter Williams about the importance of teaching theology to children. They discuss the book Hunter co-authored titled How to Teach Kids Theology: Deep Truths for Growing Faith. Hunter offers encouragement for youth leaders and volunteers who want to teach theological truths but feel ill-equipped. They discuss the idea of intelligibility and how to appropriately teach truths to children of different ages. We want to teach children biblical truths in language that they understand, but there are times where we also want them to be blown away by how big God really is even if they Won't fully grasp it. Hunter also emphasizes creating a pathway in your church to accomplish the ministry and discipleship goals that you set.

In a world where certainty, hot takes, and strong opinions dominate, what if curiosity and humility were actually the more faithful way of following Jesus? In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan talks with pastor, theologian, and professor A. J. Swoboda about his new book, A Teachable Spirit. Together, they explore what it means to cultivate intellectual humility as a spiritual discipline and to rediscover the joy of learning—even from unexpected places and people. You’ll learn: Why being teachable is central to spiritual formation. How to learn from unlikely voices—children, strangers, enemies, and even the dead. Practices for slowing down and resisting the culture of distraction and quick answers. How curiosity creates deeper wisdom, peace, and more gracious leadership. Guest Bio:A. J. Swoboda, PhD, is a pastor, theologian, and professor at Bushnell University in Eugene, Oregon, where he teaches Bible, theology, and Christian history. He is the author of several books, including Subversive Sabbath and After Doubt. He also co-hosts the “Slow Theology” podcast and is a sought-after voice on spiritual formation, rest, and resilience in today’s culture.

Our prayer is that the Holy Spirit will make at least some of these concepts useful to the hearers.For Poimen Ministries, its staff, ministries, and focus, go to poimenministries.com.

What is the speed of trust? It's an odd question, since rapid acceleration and safe, human connection seem antithetical—moving in opposite directions. And there's the point—and the reason we don't attempt lasting friendships while driving Formula 1 cars, in the backstretch of an 800-meter race, or while racing each other to the top of the corporate ladder. Speed implies competition, a desire to be better than the other. Trust cannot rush, for it unfolds only when our usual pride and combativeness have been set aside. The God who inhabits a universe where stars collide and light itself moves at more than 670,000,000 miles per hour sent His Son to a tiny planet. He came to walk long, winding roads with us, start conversations in homes and at wells, and play with children. “Though He was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, He gave up His divine privileges; He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being” (Phil 2:6-7). There is no hurrying the pace of trust, and trust is the Father's fondest hope for us. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God” (Eph.2.8). When we trust His grace, we give ourselves to the One who has loved us through all eternity. Now stay in grace. -Bill Knott

Our God is big, he is transcendent, he is immanent, he is trustworthy and available. He is able to meet all of our needs.

Still thinking about Sunday? Same. Because when faith is tested, God shows up—and shows off. It was our first Sunday in the gym for Slam Dunk Summer, and it wasn't just a change in location—it was a move of God. Powerful worship, a packed house, and a message from Pastor Rodney that stirred hearts and stretched faith. Have you ever asked, “Do I have the faith to get through what I'm going through?” You're not alone. From Luke 17:5 & Genesis 22, we were reminded that God increases our faith through two things: His Word and life's tests. Abraham passed the test. And when it felt like the dream was too big, the wait too long, the resources too scarce, and life too hard—God provided. Faith doesn't grow in comfort—it's developed in the dark room. And here's the good news: God's not done growing your faith. #rethinklifechurch #TheWinningFamily #GoodNews #Bible #godsword #godisgood #lakenona #stcloud #orlando #2025sermon #onlinechurch #rodneygage #michellegage #Jesus #Church #Hope #HolySpirit #learnhow #pastor #sermon #inspiringmessages #wisdom Thank you RTL Fam for your generosity!

Teaching theological truths to children seems mutually exclusive. What comest to mind as you think about the experience: Glazed eyes? Over-their-head discussions? Questioning your own knowledge and experience? Along with co-author Sam Luce, Hunter Williams believes theology doesn’t have to be “too deep for kids” or taught “by professionals.” CLICK HERE For more information or to order copies of How to Teach Kids Theology: Deep Truths for Growing Faith.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wmbwSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this milestone 300th episode of "Better for America," Rebecca Weber interviews Kirk Cameron, the beloved actor from "Growing Pains," to discuss his faith-driven mission for America. They talk about National Library Day and how Kirk is using his platform to promote pro-God, pro-America values through Brave books and a new television show called Adventures of Iggy and Captain Kirk. Kirk asks, "What if this current cultural setback is really a divine setup for a spiritual comeback led by the family of faith?" This conversation highlights the importance of standing up for values and protecting future generations through education.
