A Topsy Turvey Kingdom - Humanity's Innocence | Child Likeness

We dive deep into the essence of childlikeness, focusing on innocence and what it truly means to live with that quality in our lives. We explore how Jesus emphasizes the importance of becoming like children to engage with the kingdom of God, highlighting the genuine curiosity and openness that children embody. As we unpack the complexities of guilt versus innocence, we discuss how societal judgments can distort our self-perception, making us feel inherently guilty rather than recognizing our innate purity in Christ. Join us as we reflect on the journey of reconciling our humanity with our divine identity, ultimately embracing the truth that we are seen as innocent and whole in the eyes of God. It’s a conversation filled with humor, insights, and a call to reclaim the innocence that is rightfully ours.Resources:Settled Conference - Aug. 27-28, 2026For Updates on Jason's Journey: settledco.com/jasonReclaim What's Real 5-Day JouneySettled Design CourseFree 30 Minute Biblical Counseling SessionLinktree - https://linktr.ee/settledcoConnect with us:Website - https://settledco.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/settled.co/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552836102590YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@settledpodcastLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/settledco/Takeaways:Childlikeness is essential for engaging with the kingdom of God, emphasizing curiosity and playfulness.We often lose our sense of innocence as we grow up, but it's important to reclaim it.Feeling guilty is different from being guilty; our identity in Christ is that we are innocent.Jesus teaches us that true greatness is found in childlike qualities, flipping societal norms on their head.The cross represents an exchange where we trade our guilt for innocence, reaffirming our true identity.Understanding our humanity and divinity helps reconcile our growth into maturity while maintaining a childlike heart.Mentioned in this episode:Supporting Us Through This JourneyAs many of you know, Jason was recently diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer.

Restitutio Sean P Finnegan Restitutio is a Christian theology podcast designed to get you thinking about biblical theology, church history, and apologetics in an effort to recover the original Christian faith of Jesus and the apostles apart from all of the later traditions that settled on it like so much sediment, obscuring and mutating primitive Christianity into dogma and ritual. Pastor Sean Finnegan, the host of Restitutio, holds to a Berean approach to truth: that everyone should have an open mind, but check everything against the bible to see how it measures up. If you are looking for biblical unitarian resources, information about the kingdom of God, or teachings about conditional immortality, Restitutio is the Christian podcast for you!
