Ep. 156: Teaching Toddler Theology (A Chat with Lauren Groves)

About this episode

This episode discusses how to teach toddlers deep theological concepts in an accessible way.

If you’ve ever struggled with how to convey deep theological concepts in a simple way to your toddlers, this episode is for you!
