Episode 9 Faith Like a Child – Trusting God with Childlike Faith

Episode 9 Faith Like a Child – Trusting God with Childlike Faith

Jun 11, 2025

💭 Introduction

What would happen if you trusted God the way a child does?

In Episode 9 of the 13:22 Life Podcast, we’re kicking off a new theme for June: Faith Like a Child. And to start this journey, I’m joined by someone very special… my daughter, Monica. From answered prayers (yes, including that snow day!) to the innocent trust that fuels her prayer life, this episode is a heartfelt reminder of how simple, sincere, and powerful childlike faith truly is.

We’re diving into Luke 18:15–17, where Jesus reminds us that unless we receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, we’ll miss it entirely. If your faith has been wavering or if life has made belief feel complicated—this is your reset.

📝 Reflection

Hearing Monica speak with such clarity, simplicity, and confidence in God’s love reminds me why Jesus held childlike faith in such high regard. When children trust, they really trust. They believe in ways that aren’t jaded by life’s disappointments. And yet, even when they experience hurt or confusion… like an unanswered prayer… they bounce back with grace and understanding many adults strive for.

This episode isn’t just sweet… it’s convicting. It’s a challenge to return to your own faith roots and ask: Do I still believe like I used to? Or have I allowed disappointments to chip away at my trust in God?

If you need a faith reset… this one’s for you.
