Can you build a child's faith before they can even read?
Research shows that 85% of people who followChrist make that decision by age eight—making the early years one of the most important opportunities for spiritual formation. In this joyful and practical conversation, Marion MacKenzie sits down with author, speaker, worship leader, and beloved children's entertainer Jean Thomason, knownaround the world as Miss PattyCake®. Together they explore how parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers can intentionally plant seeds of biblical truth that grow into a lifelong "sticky faith."
Jean shares her remarkable journey from classically trained singer and worship leader to becoming Miss PattyCake—aministry that has reached hundreds of thousands of children through music, movement, stories, and biblical teaching. She explains why spiritual formation begins much earlier than many parents realize and offers practical ways to make faith a natural part of everyday family life.
In this episode you'll discover:
• Why spiritual formation should begin in infancy
• How to create "sticky faith" that lasts a lifetime
• The powerful connection between music, memory, and biblical truth
• Why parents are a child's most influential spiritual leaders
• Practical ways to disciple children at home
