What does it mean to receive the Kingdom of God like a child?

In this episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Jack walks through Luke 18:15–17, where Jesus rebukes His disciples and welcomes infants and children, declaring that “to such belongs the kingdom of God.” Far from being a sentimental moment, this passage reveals something profound about humility, faith, and how salvation works.

This episode also asks a hard but necessary question:
How might we—parents, churches, and Christians—be hindering children from coming to Jesus today?

Along the way, we examine:

- Why Jesus prioritizes children and rebukes His own disciples
- How pride and self-reliance block the gospel
- Why children are a “canary in the coal mine” for cultural health
- Five practical ways adults can hinder (or help) children come to Christ
- Why salvation is received, not achieved
- What it really means to trust God like a child

Whether you’re a parent, pastor, or simply wrestling with faith and trust, this episode calls us to lay down pride, abandon self-confidence, and receive the gospel with humility, joy, and faith.
