Where a Kid Can Be A Kid Mar 04, 2025

👶✨ Ever wish you could go back to the carefree days of childhood? In this episode of Nerd of Godcast, we’re diving into all things childhood—from our favorite toys, cartoons, and games to the deeper spiritual truths hidden in childlike wonder.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 18:3 that we must become like children to enter the kingdom of heaven—but what does that really mean? We explore:

🔹 Why kids naturally trust, dream, and embrace joy—and how we can, too.

🔹 The power of humility, curiosity, and dependence on God.

🔹 The connection between identity as a child of God and freedom from cynicism.

Plus, we kick things off with some nostalgic throwbacks and fun childhood memories! So grab your favorite snack, settle in, and let’s journey back to the days of wide-eyed wonder—because the best way to move forward in faith is to look back at what made us who we are.

🎧 Listen now and let’s rediscover the joy of childlike faith together!
