In this episode, Kim is joined by her dear friend Bethany Robertson, one of the best kids pastors Kim knows. Bethany serves as the kids pastor at Vineyard Cincinnati, and does amazing work when it comes to making sure every child belongs. She has an incredible gift for building up volunteers and creating a team that welcomes all kids with open arms. Beyond her work in ministry, Bethany is a mom to five precious kids, a wife, and very involved in her community. In this conversation, we dive into the importance of creating a place where kids can bring their hard stories. Bethany has personally walked through difficult seasons, and today, she shares her journey and the ways people came alongside her family to help them feel like they truly belonged. 

It’s a powerful conversation about faith, resilience, and what it means to create spaces where every child is seen and valued. Every Child Belongs explores how we can create spaces where every child feels heard and valued, whether neurodivergent, differently abled, or they've experienced trauma. We'll hear from educators, parents, professionals, and more. Kim Botto is an adoptive mom, grandma, an advocate for kids and teens with disabilities, as well as a long-time leader of kids in student ministries.
