We are taking this season to see how this sacred text unifies us to one another as well as generations before and after us. We hope through this teaching that we can all recite the words with a fresh inspiration and meaning.

Join our Director of Children and Family Ministry, Sarah Butterfield, and Ryan Silvia, Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry, for a podcast designed specifically for parents of kids in kindergarten through 12th grade. We will be exploring developmentally appropriate spiritual practices centered around six different Christian traditions during the Lenten season. It is our hope that these will become habits of faith your kids can engage in all year long!

This week, Ryan and Sarah talk about spiritual giftedness. While this can seem like a difficult subject to enter into with your kids, they break it down to simple terms. Paying attention to what your kids are already doing well and what they are passionate about, helps them discover their spiritual giftedness.
