Seeing Jesus Through a Child's Eyes: Simple Questions, Profound Insights

Simple Discipleship - UNFILTERED

What happens when you hand a microphone to a 4-year-old and ask her about Jesus? "Because he's my heart," says little Sophia with disarming sincerity. This special episode of Simple Discipleship Unfiltered takes us into territory both refreshing and profound as Sister Diana invites her grandchildren—Wesley (9), Olivia (5), and Sophia (4)—alongside Sister Audia and Sister Ann for a multigenerational conversation about faith.
The wisdom that flows from these young hearts offers surprising insight into how children process spiritual concepts. When Sister Diana asks Wesley about facing "giants" at school, he draws a natural connection to the David and Goliath story, demonstrating how biblical narratives provide children with frameworks for understanding their own struggles. Meanwhile, the adults share stories of grandchildren asking tough questions: "Was David real?" "Where does the Bible say you can't have tattoos?" These moments reveal how children naturally seek to connect Sunday School lessons with their everyday reality.
Perhaps most striking is the discussion around responding to unkindness. When asked what to do when someone isn't being nice, Wesley offers the simple wisdom of the Golden Rule: "Treat them how you want to be treated." Sister Diana humorously acknowledges the struggle between flesh and spirit with her t-shirt that reads "Y'all better be glad I got Jesus," admitting that our natural reactions often don't align with Christ's teachings.
As a new school year approaches, the episode concludes with powerful prayers for students, teachers, and educational systems across the nation. There's excitement about new Texas laws that will bring the Ten Commandments into classrooms, alongside concerns about protecting children from bullying and divisive ideologies. The group's parting message encapsulates discipleship at its most fundamental: "Go show some love, show some compassion, give mercy, and go be Jesus today."
