About this episode
A tiny pinky can carry a giant truth: Jesus sees you. We kick off our "Five Finger Gospel" conversations by anchoring a child’s faith—and our own—by starting with the smallest finger to remember that no one is too small or too little to be significant to God. We wiggle our pinky finger to remind us: "Jesus Sees Me!"Host Tosha Williams shares a tender childhood memory of an elderly man with a weekly pack of chocolate-covered raisins and how that small act taught her the dignity of being noticed. From there, we open Matthew 19:14—echoed in Mark 10 and Luke 18—to show how Jesus rebuked those who sidelined kids and welcomed them as central to His kingdom. We connect this to 1 Samuel 16:7, reminding ourselves that God sees beyond labels and performance into the heart. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, this conversation offers a way to receive God’s gaze as love, not scrutiny, and to pass that assurance to the next generation.You’ll hear practical, low-friction ways to weave discipleship into everyday moments: a hand signal kids remember, a spoken refrain—“Jesus sees me”—and habits that make eye contact, names, and presence normal in homes, classrooms, and church hallways. We explore how welcoming children is welcoming Jesus Himself (Mark 9:37), why attention is a form of blessing, and how leaders, parents, and mentors can replace pressure with presence. By the end, you’ll have language, Scripture, and simple steps to help kids know they are seen by God now, not someday.This episode goes along with an accompanying devotion-driven discipleship guide which can be found on the Family Disciple Me app - - - - soon to be released!
