Show Description:

Barbara Brown Taylor is an Episcopal priest, teacher, best selling author, and one of the most profound voices for spiritual seekers and wanderers. It was a treat to get a chance to ask her questions about what it means to parent children into healthy spirituality. We chat about:

• The spirituality of her childhood
• What it means to embody healthy spirituality
• How caring for animals teach us to be attentive in this world
• How children show us what it’s like to be fully human
• How to comfort a child in the dark, and what it might look like to not be afraid to let our children experience pain and struggle.
• Should we raise our children in church?
• How to become spiritually multilingual
• And her new children’s book, Home by Another Way: A Christmas Story

We pack a lot of punch into a short timeframe. My friend Courtney says, every other word Barbar Brown Taylor says should be stitched onto a pillow – so true. She’s so wise. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
