King George and the Ducky with Ellen Davis

VeggieTakes

This week, Kendall and Kate talk with Dr. Ellen Davis, a professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and Practical Theology at Duke Divinity School. Dr. Davis uses this opportunity to share with us the profound importance of allowing children to wrestle with the hard stories of Scripture in slow, thoughtful, contemplative ways. When we try to protect children from stories of brokenness, she shares, a reality they *know* exists in the world, we cut them off from the story of redemption too. We actually obscure the very gift that our faith offers them.

Adam breaks down the song Endangered Love, more commonly known as Barbara Manattee.
