Welcoming children just as they are is a counter-cultural practice that invites us to examine our values and what we believe about the kingdom of God. Kaitlyn Schiess talks with Lindsey and Ahyuwani about what this question shows us about what we might believe about the church, who we might be excluding, and what opportunities we might be missing as a result. Children share how they know someone likes having them around. 

The Child in Our Midst is a podcast of the Center for Faith and Children, where we’re reimagining church where a child’s faith flourishes. Visit our website for more about this episode.
