We’re wrapping up our childhood trio with track 30 of TTPD, Robin. Sarah leads the discussion as we dive into how imagination is, as George MacDonald puts it, “the tailor that cuts [Truth’s] garments to fit her.” Come to hear our defense of TV moms, stay to hear how Truth and imagination ultimately go hand in hand.

We’re continuing our childhood trio this week by looking at the flipside of motherhood in another Taylor tear-jerker, The Best Day. Ashley leads the conversation as we point out the biblical characteristics of mothers and how they point to the character of God. Come to hear spicy thoughts from the Middle Ages on God as Mother, stay to hear of the true Love that will never forget His children.

Because no one captures the beauty and whimsy of childhood quite like Taylor, we’re starting a new trio, and we’re kicking it off with Never Grow Up (our first deep dive into Speak Now- WHAT?). Rebekah leads the discussion as we cover the characteristics of self forgetfulness and naivety and how they ultimately point us beyond our own childhood. Come to hear why this song takes us all back to senior year, stay to hear of the Savior who values the child-like as greatest in His kingdom.
