Leading Little Ones to God I: Feeding the Lambs

This week we begin a new series with a new guest, Misty Snyder. Misty is the coauthor of Behold Your God: Seeking Him Early and the wife of Dr. John Snyder.

For help in this series, we are looking to Charles Spurgeon and J. C. Ryle. Spurgeon’s little work, Feed My Lambs, was written for Christian parents and Sunday School teachers. This week, we focus on the opening section where Spurgeon hones in on what it means to feed the little ones.

This feeding means that we must speak in a way that children can understand. It doesn’t mean simply replacing big words with small words. But it means defining and communicating in a way they can follow and grasp.

Last in the series, we will look at a sermon preached by J. C. Ryle, a contemporary of Charles Spurgeon. Check the show notes for the full text of Spurgeon’s pamphlet, Ryle’s sermons, and links to purchase physical copies, plus other helpful resources for nurturing the faith of the little ones in your life.
