Ep. 34: "A Noisy Church Is a Living Church" with Anita Smallin
Children and the church. Children in the church.
It's complicated, especially with music in the mix.
Join Anita Smallin and me as we discuss how to welcome our littlest sisters and brothers in worship services.

Music and the Church Update
A quick update on Music and the Church: I'm moving the podcast to a monthly schedule. Last year I released 27 episodes (awesome! also: whew!). This year, I need to make space for other exciting projects, while also maintaining quality for Music and the Church. So look for episodes once a month!
