About this episode
The middle finger often gets a bad rap in our culture, and for good reason. It’s used to express anger, disrespect, and even hate. But what if we could redeem it? In this episode of "The Five Finger Gospel," we take what’s often seen as negative and reframe it as a powerful symbol of love: our tallest finger reminds us of the tall, tall cross where Jesus died for us. What looked like a moment of defeat became the foundation of our hope.Romans 5:8 declares, “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus didn’t wait for us to be good enough—He took our place, paid our debt, and made a way. This conversation equips parents and mentors to talk honestly and gently with kids about sin, death, forgiveness, and eternal life without shame or fear.Host Tosha Williams shares personal stories of spiritual awareness in young children—including a toddler’s surprising understanding of death—and offers gospel-centered conversation guides for everyday discipleship moments: around the table, during car rides, or at bedtime.Whether you’re just beginning or ready to grow deeper, this episode gives you a hand full of truths about the Gospel. The devotion-driven discipleship guide that accompanies this episode is available on the soon-to-be-released Family Disciple Me app!______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.
