What if trying to figure God out is actually keeping you from knowing Him?

We often assume that spiritual maturity means acquiring more biblical knowledge and having a clear view of where our faith is taking us. In this episode, taking inspiration from a long car ride into South Wales, we explore why an apparent lack of clarity doesn't invalidate your journey. Discover how dismantling the "boxes" of our adult understanding frees us to receive the deeper, living truths that God delights in revealing to the childlike.

What if intellectual certainty isn't the requirement for coming to faith?

We often treat faith like a list of impossible doctrines that must be intellectually mastered before we can enter the kingdom. In this episode, we unpack why the good news of Jesus is simple enough for a child to receive. From wrestling with "six impossible things before breakfast" to discovering that faith is a heart-response of trust in a Person rather than an exam to pass, discover how stepping out in simple, childlike trust opens the door for the Holy Spirit to bring true assurance.

What if the ultimate entry requirement isn't what you have, but what you're willing to lose?

We live in a world where access is granted by qualifications, achievement, wealth, and status. In this episode, we explore Jesus’ radical assertion that entry into the kingdom of heaven works in reverse. From squeezing through narrow doors to the total, wholehearted immersion of a child at play, discover why shedding our adult bulk is the only way to squeeze in—and why becoming small allows us to enter into God's kingdom with undivided joy.

What if the secret to kingdom impact is choosing to be "nothing"?

Adult humility is usually about "putting on" modesty to play down our strengths, but a child's humility is a simple state of being—they are physically small, powerless, and have nothing to brag about. In this episode, we explore how Jesus embodied this very literal "coming down," choosing vulnerability over status. Discover why God delights in using the weak, lowly, and seemingly insignificant, and how dying to our desire for spiritual "success" opens the door to genuine kingdom fruitfulness.

How many of us have ever made a New Year's resolution to become more like a little child?

We naturally desire self-improvement and spiritual growth, but we usually try to achieve it through very "adult" effort—doing more, striving harder, and pushing for progress. In this episode, we explore Jesus’ profound warning that unless we turn around and change direction, we are heading the wrong way. Unpacking what it means to "grow down," discover how shedding adult anxieties and ambition opens the door to the childlike faith that truly unlocks God's kingdom.

What if welcoming a child is literally how we welcome God?

We often long to welcome Jesus into our lives, but we tend to skip over His direct instruction on how to actually do it. In this episode, we explore why welcoming a child isn't just a sweet metaphor, but a practical training ground for opening our hearts to God. From letting go of adult status to embracing the mess, noise, and loss of control, discover how humbling ourselves to meet children where they are makes room for the childlike Christ to transform us.

"Grow up and act your age!"

We often lump "childish" and "childlike" together, assuming Paul's call to put away childish things contradicts Jesus’ command to become like little children. In this episode, we unpack the crucial difference between the two. From self-centred immaturity to an unstable faith, discover why dropping our childish habits allows us to integrate adult wisdom with childlike innocence—bringing our childlike self out of the margins and back into the center of our faith.

Imagine waiting to hear who gets the top job in God's kingdom, only for Jesus to pull forward a real, flesh-and-blood child.

In this episode, we break past our tendency to turn Jesus’ teaching into a vague spiritual metaphor. We explore the total shock of His answer: that greatness isn't something we achieve through adult strength and effort, but a status bestowed on those who stop trying to be grown-ups and reconnect with who God made them to be.

Who do you secretly consider to be the "best" Christians?

In this episode, we unpack the quiet, subtle ways we bring the world’s celebrity culture into the church. By exposing the disciples' own backstage squabbling over who got the top spot in Jesus' cabinet, we set up the massive shock Jesus delivers when He completely turns our definition of "greatness" upside down.

How easily do we swap the simple wonder of childhood for the heavy analysis of adulthood?

In this opening episode, we explore the quiet retreat day and unexpected wake-up calls that sparked this entire series. Unpacking Jesus’ radical call in Matthew 18 to become like little children, we look at why true spiritual transformation isn't about following a rigid 12-step plan, but about fundamentally renewing how we see our Father, our faith, and ourselves.
