March 23 - Matthew 18: Learning From Children
Episode description
From the moment of birth, we are on a journey towards independence and self-reliance. We celebrate milestones of independence like learning to walk, learning to talk, and learning to drive. Now we can move ourselves, communicate by ourselves, travel by ourselves. We measure our worth—our greatness—by our capacity to do things without help, whether solving a problem, earning a living, or moving something heavy.
And while the journey towards independence and self-reliance is an important part of adult maturity, is it a helpful model for spiritual maturity?
