This episode touches on some behind-the-scenes aspects of being Mrs. Claus that may not be suitable for younger ears. If you have little ones around, we recommend listening later or using headphones. Thanks for understanding, and Merry Christmas! Creativity, imagination and joy are essential parts of forming faith, especially in the lives of children. In this Christmas-week episode of POD Strangely Warmed, Rev. Daniel Hawkins is joined by Betsy Modrzejewski, director of children’s ministry at Fellowship UMC in Trophy Club, for a conversation about what it means to create space where children are welcomed, trusted and invited to experience church as their church. Betsy reflects on how wonder is cultivated through presence, patience and the freedom to explore faith in ways that feel authentic and life-giving. Later in the episode, listeners are treated to a special visit from Mrs. Claus, who shares a message just in time for Christmas.
