Ep 123: "Creating Space for Wonder and Cheer" with Betsy Modrzejewski

This episode touches on some behind the scenes aspects of being Mrs. Claus that may not be suitable for younger ears. If you have little ones around we recommend listening later or with headphones. Thanks for understanding, Merry Christmas!

Creativity, imagination, and joy are essential parts of forming faith, especially in the lives of children.

In this Christmas-week episode of POD Strangely Warmed, Rev. Daniel Hawkins is joined by Betsy Modrzejewski, Director of Children's Ministry at Fellowship UMC in Trophy Club, for a conversation about what it means to create space where children are welcomed, trusted, and invited to experience church as their church. Betsy reflects on how wonder is cultivated through presence, patience, and the freedom to explore faith in ways that feel authentic and life-giving.

Later on in the episode, we get a special visit from Mrs. Claus, who has a message for all our listeners just in time for Christmas.
