The Inclusive Classroom in Children's Ministry with Jared Kennedy
Listen now
Description
Sarah talks with autism dad and children’s pastor, Jared Kennedy, about creating inclusive classroom environments for children’s ministry. They discuss tools and strategies leaders and teachers can use with individuals with unique needs in their classes, as well as boundaries if a teacher suspects a diagnosis, but the parent has not provided any diagnosis, or there hasn’t been any testing yet. They talk through the books Jared has written and the free resources available on his website, Gospel Centered Family. In addition to practical ideas and steps for ministry leaders and teachers to use with families, Sarah and Jared also talk through how spouses grieve differently, and the encouragement of hope we have in Christ as our High Priest who empathizes with us in our suffering. Jared is the author of "The Beginner's Gospel Story Bible," fifty-two Bible stories retold in a simple and compelling way for toddlers and preschoolers. and "Before the Lord, Before the Church," a book on planning a child dedication service.
