This week on Bedtime Chapel, we welcome back Bird Treacy for another rich conversation about integrating faith into family life. Bird, a licensed Godly Play trainer, children's ministry leader and self-proclaimed "church lady,"  shares practical tips for helping children develop prayer habits, from creating home altars to using creative prayer methods.  We also dive into ways to help kids engage with scripture, understand fairness and justice, and approach the language of fatherhood and sonship in the Gospel of John. You can read a complete transcript of this episode, here.
