S15 E08: Global Church with Tim Challies

In today’s episode, Anna is joined by author, blogger, and church leader Tim Challies. Based in Canada, Tim serves as an elder at Grace Fellowship Church and has spent decades writing and teaching about faith, culture, and the Christian life. His latest children’s book, God’s Great Big Global Church, grew out of a personal project travelling the world to experience how Christians worship across different cultures. This conversation explores how we can help children see beyond their immediate world and understand their place in God’s global family. Tim shares how the book invites kids to: Discover how Christians around the world worship each Sunday Understand the beauty of cultural diversity within the Church See themselves as part of God’s bigger story and mission Anna connects this with the Parenting for Faith Key Tool: Framing, which helps children grasp the bigger picture of God’s story and their place within it (https://www.parentingforfaith.brf.org...)
