29. Cultivating Childlike Faith with Courtney Isemann

<p>This week on SPARK the Podcast, Courtney Isemann shares all about cultivating childlike faith with kids at church and at home. Courtney is the director of the children’s ministry at our church, Mendham Hills Community Church, and her father is our pastor! Courtney shares what it was like to grow up surrounded by other believers, who became like her family, following Jesus and living out their faith for her to see. Through life changing mission trips where Courtney got to go beyond the walls of the church to be the hands and feet of Jesus, to Christmas morning prayers on the steps with her family before opening presents, Courtney tells us about the little and big moments throughout her life that have shaped her childlike faith. As a teacher and children’s ministry director, Courtney had wonderful resources to share for cultivating childlike faith with kids, and you can find these resources below:</p> <p><a href="https://northpoint.org/family-prayer-app">The Family Prayer App</a></p> <p><a href="https://theparentcue.org/app/">The Parent Cue App</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Storybook-Bible-Every-Whispers/dp/0310708257">The Jesus Storybook Bible</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Adventure-Bible-Hardcover-Full-Color/dp/0310727472/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2TDAIJKMYLXAC&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=the+adventure+bible&amp;qid=1600228444&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=the+adventure+bi%2Cstripbooks%2C139&amp;sr=1-2">The Adventure Bible</a></p> <p><a href="https://mendhamhills.org">Mendham Hills Community Church</a></p> <p><a href="http://beyond-the-walls.org">Beyond the Walls</a></p> <p>Connect with Courtney:</p> <p>Website:&nbsp;<a href="https://mendhamhills.org/about/staff/">https://mendhamhills.org/about/staff/</a><strong>. </strong>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/courtneyisemann/"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/courtneyisemann/</strong></a></p> <p>Learn more about NJ SPARK at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.njspark.co/"><strong>www.njspark.co</strong></a>&nbsp;or follow us on Instagram at&n
