Episode Summary:
In today’s episode, I chat with my ministry friend, Dr. Heather Ingersoll. She has so much experience with ministry with children and their spiritual formation. Heather shares some beautiful and profound thoughts on children’s faith, discipleship, and parenting, as well as Godly Play. I hope that you will find this interview as impactful as I did.
Heather’s Bio:
Heather Ingersoll spent the past 20 years, exploring, researching, and practicing ways to support the spiritual lives of children. She holds a MA in Family Life Education from Concordia University St. Paul and a Ph.D. in Education from Seattle Pacific University. She has experience leading children’s ministry programs, supervising early childhood programs, and teaching college-level courses in education and children’s spirituality. She currently serves as the Executive Director for the Godly Play Foundation where she gets to bring her love for bridging the gap between research and practice to cultivate spaces around the world where children can come close to the mystery of God. She also gets to explore this in her own home in Oregon with her husband and her two sons, Theo (6) and Aidan (2).
