Gain confidence with the scriptures through our weekly Bible Study - this conversation discusses the Bible Readings for the week of 03/30. Find the prayer services and upcoming reading list here.
Today’s discussion centers around intergenerational faith formation, exploring how churches can create spaces where all ages worship together while also addressing the unique needs of children. Bird emphasizes the importance of playfulness, openness, and the intentional inclusion of those on the margins.
Our conversation explores how key biblical narratives—such as the story of Jesus healing the man born blind—challenge traditional structures. Bird highlights the transformative power of embracing complexity, especially as those raising young humans, rather than seeking easy answers. We hope this episode is an invitation for you to remain present with their questions and to recognize the light of Christ in every aspect of life.
Bird Treacy is a Godly Play Trainer, Episcopal church lady, church programming consultant, and writer based in the greater Boston area. Prior to finding her way to professional work in the church, Bird earned a masters degree in Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies with an emphasis on Disability Studies from Emory University, and she brings both an academic lens and a lived experience of disabled identity to her current work. When not wranging small humans or developing programming, you can usually find Bird cooking, writing, competing in jigsaw puzzle competitions, making lace, or doing some other craft project. She lives with her wife, a current veterinary student, and their five cats. Bird has a WEALTH of Resource, stay in touch with her -- Website, Substack, @abirdinchurch (Instagram)
