God‘s story is the story of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. But it‘s also humanity‘s story, the story of a world fallen and blown apart and of a world reshaped and restored. It‘s the beginning of all beginnings and the end of all ends. Join Brent Siddall and the Rev Ian ‘Reido‘ Reid as they explore God, time, salvation and the cosmos. Explore the stories of Western culture as they pivot and interact with the main narrative of salvation history.

How do we create a space for our children to get to know God in a way that focuses on trust instead of rigid rules?
Brent talks with Meredith Miller about her new book from Worthy Publishing called ‘Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kid Doesn’t Have to Heal From’.
Meredith has over 20 years experience in children’s ministry and curriculum. In 2019 she and her husband Curtis started Pomona Valley Church – a church on Zoom that wants to ‘live the one anothers, neighbor well, and do justice. And eat’. For the 5 years prior to that, she was Curriculum Director for the Children’s Ministry at Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago. Since 2007, she’s also been involved with the work of the Fuller Youth Institute.
