Are You Overthinking What Jesus Made Simple? | Mark 10:14 with Steph Blair

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

Steph is back for her last episode of the year before heading off on a two-month overseas adventure — but today’s conversation might be one of her most powerful yet.

We dive into Mark 10:14, a moment where Jesus does something completely countercultural: He welcomes children when everyone else pushes them aside. And in the process, He reveals something stunning — childlike faith isn’t just cute; it’s Kingdom-level essential.

Steph shares a story from when she was five years old: praying with her parents every night, asking the Holy Spirit for prophetic words, and boldly speaking out something she didn’t even understand yet — a word that ended up encouraging her parents during a painful setback.
It’s a beautiful reminder that children often hear God with a clarity adults lose along the way.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why Jesus defended children — and what that reveals about His heart

• What “childlike faith” really means (humility, trust, dependence)

• How life experience can make faith complicated… and how to get back to simplicity

• Removing barriers — in ourselves and in others — that keep us from Jesus

• The surprising spiritual sensitivity children often carry

• Why adults can (and should) learn from the way children approach God

This episode is tender, grounding, and full of joy — a reminder that your soul is wired to run to Jesus just like a little child would.
