Seeing Jesus Through a Child's Eyes: Simple Questions, Profound Insights

What happens when you hand a microphone to a 4-year-old and ask her about Jesus? "Because he's my heart," says little Sophia with disarming sincerity. This special episode of Simple Discipleship Unfiltered takes us into territory both refreshing and profound as Sister Diana invites her grandchildren—Wesley (9), Olivia (5), and Sophia (4)—alongside Sister Audia and Sister Ann for a multigenerational conversation about faith.

The wisdom that flows from these young hearts offers surprising insight into how children process spiritual concepts. When Sister Diana asks Wesley about facing "giants" at school, he draws a natural connection to the David and Goliath story, demonstrating how biblical narratives provide children with frameworks for understanding their own struggles. Meanwhile, the adults share stories of grandchildren asking tough questions: "Was David real?" "Where does the Bible say you can't have tattoos?" These moments reveal how children naturally seek to connect Sunday School lessons with their everyday reality.

Perhaps most striking is the discussion around responding to unkindness. When asked what to do when someone isn't being nice, Wesley offers the simple wisdom of the Golden Rule: "Treat them how you want to be treated." Sister Diana humorously acknowledges the struggle between flesh and spirit with her t-shirt that reads "Y'all better be glad I got Jesus," admitting that our natural reactions often don't align with Christ's teachings.

As a new school year approaches, the episode concludes with powerful prayers for students, teachers, and educational systems across the nation. There's excitement about new Texas laws that will bring the Ten Commandments into classrooms, alongside concerns about protecting children from bullying and divisive ideologies. The group's parting message encapsulates discipleship at its most fundamental: "Go show some love, show some compassion, give mercy, and go be Jesus today."

Transcript

Welcome with Sister Diana

Speaker 2 0:13

Hey y'all, welcome to Simple Discipleship Unfiltered. I'm your host, Sister Diana. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey today. Can we be real? Being a Christian is not always easy, but you are not alone. So grab you a drink, grab you a snack. Let's open the word and see what Jesus has to say today. Hey, welcome to Simple Discipleship Unfiltered. I'm Sister Diana and I have a very special guest today. Very special guest. We're joined around the table. I have Sister Audia, sister Ann and I've got my own little grandbabies here today, just a couple of them. I've got little Wesley here, who is how old are you now?

Speaker 1 1:01

Nine.

Speaker 2 1:02

Talk loud.

Speaker 1 1:04

I'm nine.

Speaker 2 1:04

Nine, yeah, alright, I'm nine. Nine, yeah, all right, and I've got Sophia I don't know what my number is.

Grandkids Join the Conversation

Speaker 2 1:11

Four. Oh, your number is four, you said. She says she don't remember what her number is. All right, so we're talking today. We were doing the Book of Acts with Brother Ernie and they just left and we had a wonderful birthday lunch with him and it was just a good time of fellowship.

Speaker 2 1:31

And the kids were here because we're not back to school yet and I said, you know, I really would like to do a podcast with just some of the grandbabies, right, right. And so here we are, and I love how scripture talks about the little children, where jesus tells the disciples the little children are running up to jesus and you and the disciples start telling the little kids don't come near jesus, don't come near jesus. But you know what jesus said let them come to me. He says the way he's this way says suffer the little children to come unto me, because such is the kingdom of heaven. And so jesus loves the little children and so you guys play such a special role in his heart and what he has planned that he has for everybody. You might think that you don't play a role, but you do, right. And so if you had to, um, ask any question that you wanted to about the bible, or about scripture, or about jesus? What would you ask?

Speaker 1 2:38

oh no. What do you ask? I will ask. I ask I love veggies.

Speaker 2 2:45

You love veggies. I know you watch VeggieTales, which has all like the little veggies that talk about Jesus, right? So if you saw Jesus, what would you say?

Speaker 1 2:55

I'd say I love him.

Speaker 2 2:57

You love Jesus why?

Speaker 1 2:59

Because he's my heart.

Speaker 2 3:02

He's your heart. Oh, you're so sweet. You're so sweet. You're a little turd heart. Oh, you're so sweet, you're so sweet. You're a little turd at home, but you are so sweet. I love her so much. What about you, wesley, when you see Jesus face-to-face, what is one thing that you would say to him? I don't know, I don't know, I can't even imagine that, when you see him face to face, what you might say. Do you have any questions about the Bible, or do you ever want to just ask Jesus why you know something? What about you, baby? What would you ask jesus?

Speaker 1 3:46

I don't. I like fruit you like food fruit yeah, you're telling him something you're gonna ask him what would you ask, jesus, if you ask him? I will ask can I have a?

Children's Questions About Jesus

Speaker 2 4:00

snack. I know there's snacks in heaven, so yeah, I know that Sister Audio was just telling us a story about she was babysitting her grandkids just a week ago and they got into a conversation and what was some of the things that you saw with your grandbabies that were just a little older than these, but what? What were some of the things that you, that they were questioning?

Speaker 3 4:28

they. They were really questioning things like word was david real, you know, because we had watched the story about david and so we got them. Two of them have Bibles, and so we got the Bibles out and we started reading about David and how a lot of what they saw on the TV about him being a shepherd and everything were very real. And then we talked a lot about, well, how can a shepherd be king? And I thought kings had to be born to be a king, and so we kind of talked a little bit about that and they were very.

Speaker 3 5:20

Mostly they wanted to know if things that they had been taught in Sunday school were those real. You know, was the parting of the Red Sea? Was it real? Was you know? Just things like that? They wanted to know are these just stories or are they real? And so we talked a lot about that and a lot about too. And I explained to them and one of the things I explained to them too there's nothing new that's happening now that if you look back, you'll find it in the Bible, right, right. And so they thought that was pretty fascinating. You'll find it in the Bible, right, right. And so they thought that was pretty fascinating, you know, yeah.

Speaker 2 6:08

I love that. Well, sister Ann, I know that you live with your grandkids, marshall, and you got that little grandbaby running around. What are some things that you see that Marshall talks to you about scripturally? You know he just you know, but he does question about you know just about Jesus and salvation and just simple things, because he's a very philosophical young man, he's a very philosophical young man. Yeah, he said if he'd met David, he wouldn't have used a rock on Goliath.

Speaker 4 6:57

He would have used something a little more violent. Yeah, he's something, of course. He's older he's 16. And granddaughter, he's older, he's 16. And granddaughter, she's about to be 21.

Speaker 2 7:10

Yeah, I can't believe it?

Speaker 4 7:11

Yeah. And then the middle one is 20. So those three are older. And then I have two younger ones that are 15 and 9, or 15 and 10.

Speaker 2 7:23

Sorry, sorry, river, yeah, river and nine or 15 and 10, sorry, sorry river, yeah, river.

Grandparents Sharing Bible Stories

Speaker 4 7:27

And you know, at first my granddaughter would ask me you know, where, why does it say that you can't have tattoos? Or where does it say you can't have tattoos? And I was like well, that was a good one, because I really had to go and dig for that one.

Speaker 2 7:47

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 7:48

And I said it's somewhere in Leviticus. But did you know Jesus had a tattoo. She's like what.

Speaker 2 7:55

So you go and show her that scripture, yeah.

Speaker 4 7:57

I showed her that one and she goes. Well, then why does everybody down talk? All these people have tattoos and I was like you know, you're going to have to ask them Because I would just say they're old school and haven't read beyond the Old Testament.

Speaker 2 8:15

I don't know. So, while you're on the topic, what is the reason why God said about the tattoos? Do you remember we talked about? Oh, that's so long ago well, I mean back in the old testament. But back in the old testament when they're talking about that in leviticus is because if you had a tattoo it was the symbol of slavery yes and ownership.

Speaker 2 8:39

and so if people that became slave to someone else because of debt or whatever, they were tattooed and their ears, they would actually be marked in their ears by the stamp you know. So it signified that you weren't free to where now it's not the same you know you hear different stories about why people get tattoos.

Speaker 1 9:05

Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 4 9:06

Some of them aren't always biblical in nature.

Speaker 2 9:12

Oh no, no, Well, you know, back in the day, if you had a tattoo you had been in prison, right, or you're in the Navy or something.

Speaker 3 9:20

You remember they used to have those little. My dad had one. He was in the Air Force, yeah.

Speaker 4 9:29

It was a military thing, or it was a prison thing. So that was one of her questions. And then she asked me. She says what's a good translation of the Bible for me to get? And I went if I was you, I'd get New King James.

Speaker 3 9:45

Yeah.

Speaker 4 9:46

Because it's it's easily read. Yeah, and I said I would get a study Bible too. Yeah, because that's gives you answers a lot of questions. It also brings up a lot of questions.

Speaker 2 9:59

It does it does Leaves you down some different paths right, yes, it does. But the thing I love about Scripture is that Jesus was so open to teaching everybody. He wasn't just about adults, it wasn't I just want to talk to the older generation. I don't want to talk to the kids. Everything that Jesus did was simple, so that even kids could understand it. You know, and, and, and. That's what I love about his heart. Now we've watched the chosen and we've watched david you watched david with me, remember yeah, so how did he defeat him?

Speaker 2 10:53

I love you hear he said with the spirit of god and with the rock. Yeah, because he he recognized that he couldn't do it on his own right. Yeah, so what did you think about, david? I?

Speaker 1 11:09

really liked it.

Speaker 2 11:10

I really liked it and I don't know, do you see yourself in David at all?

Speaker 1 11:22

A little bit.

Speaker 2 11:23

What part do you think?

Speaker 1 11:27

Taking down the life, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 11:30

Do you Because you go to school? You go to a public school. Yeah, and how was school for you last year?

Speaker 1 11:40

It was kind of good yeah.

Speaker 2 11:42

And did you have any trouble? Yeah, did you face any giants last year in school? Yeah, and so when you were going through that hard time, how did you deal with it?

Speaker 1 11:56

Just facing it.

Speaker 2 11:57

Yeah, you just faced the giant, right yeah. And did you ever? I know that sometimes you and I prayed, right yeah. So before I drop you off in the morning, what would we say?

Speaker 1 12:11

Make a friend and be a friend.

Speaker 2 12:12

Yeah, make a friend and be a friend always, and that you have the mind of Christ.

Speaker 1 12:18

Yeah.

Speaker 2 12:18

And what's that mean?

Speaker 1 12:20

That means I don't know.

Speaker 2 12:25

What do you think it means? I don't know what do you think it means.

Speaker 1 12:27

I don't know.

Speaker 2 12:29

To be smart, to be smart, that you're smart. I always tell you you're kind, you're smart and you're important. That's right. So every day, you remember who you are because you carry Jesus with you, baby. What do you think Do you carry Jesus with you, baby? What do you think Do you carry Jesus with you? Yes, how, if I'm nice, If you're nice, well, what if you're not nice? Does he go away? Yes, he does, because you don't want to hang around it. So what do you try to do?

Speaker 1 13:02

I try to make friends.

Facing Giants at School

Speaker 2 13:07

Yeah and play. So Olivia is joining us today. Olivia, what do we mean when we say that we have the mind of Christ? What do you think? Olivia is the middle one of these three. Baby is how old? Four, olivia is Five, wesley is Nine. So what do you think, olivia, what does Jesus mean to you? What's he mean to you? Stop, don't touch that. Oh, she went away. So yeah. So olivia is our middle, middle one, and she is the one that always is the diva. She's always the one who, if she doesn't get her way, she throws a fit. You can hear her in the background. So they didn't want to share the microphone, so she's mad. So the Bible also says not to spare the rod. But granny does, spare it too much for y'all, because, uh, y'all probably need to get a good whooping why don't we ask olivia to come down here and share a mic with?

Speaker 2 14:34

us. Yeah, now she's out of control. So, um, let's, let's wrap it up. Let's say, when you go to school and you meet somebody that's not kind to you, what's the right thing to do? We um make a new friend, but how do you treat them if they're not kind to you? What do you do?

Speaker 1 14:56

the golden rule. Treat them how you want to be treated yeah, so how do you do that? By being nice to them.

Speaker 2 15:03

Even if they're rude yeah. What do you do, baby?

Speaker 1 15:16

If. I'm sad someone comes and be my friend, so you be kind and what if you see somebody that doesn't have have a friend I'm, I be both of their friends you'd be their friend too.

Speaker 2 15:31

That's nice, that's nice, but what do we do? Because they're doing better than we do? Because what do we? What do we tend to do if we have somebody that's not wanting to be our friend? If they're being ugly, if they're being rude, what do we do?

Speaker 1 15:52

If we're honest.

Speaker 2 15:53

If we're honest.

Speaker 3 15:53

If we're being honest, I mean seriously. There'd been a time. If they were just being mean to me, I probably would have confronted them and said what did I do to you? But now days, if someone is just, if I know they're talking about me behind my back or they're agitating me, I would be more apt to walk up and go. You know, obviously things are not right here. So I gonna pray about it and I hope you will too yeah, it doesn't mean you don't want to punch throat, you know.

Speaker 3 16:34

Punch them in the throat, you know it's not it's not that you don't it's like I said that on a podcast or day.

Speaker 2 16:40

I mean it's just, you know, it's not that you don't in the flesh want to do that. It's like a lot of people say, you're way too passive, you know, you let people walk all over you and it really isn't that. I'm just trying to stay in jesus, because if I allowed myself to be in the flesh, what I would want to do is run you over with my car, you know, or throw a punch you or you know something else. So you better be glad that I got Jesus. You know I wear that shirt. Y'all better be glad I got Jesus. It's a true sentiment because, flesh wise, I mean I want to react, but but as we're growing into the things of Christ, we don't ever see where Jesus reacted like that.

Speaker 4 17:23

No.

Responding to Unkindness

Speaker 2 17:23

He didn't ever react to people. He reacted to the circumstance in the temple, right yeah, and went in and just destroyed everything, but he never hurt a person, no, and so that was the issue. He was very upset about what was going on. He was very upset about what was going on, and so that's how we have to be every single day is, regardless of how somebody's hurting us. Usually people that are hurting people are people who are hurt.

Speaker 4 17:51

Yeah.

Speaker 2 17:52

And so they're trying to find a person that they can deflect onto so that they don't feel their pain their own pain that they're going through. Do you ever see that, wes? Do you ever see people like at school? If they're having a bad day, they're just going to treat everybody bad, they're just going to be icky.

Speaker 1 18:11

Yeah.

Speaker 2 18:11

And what do you do?

Speaker 1 18:13

I just ignore it sometimes.

Speaker 2 18:15

Yeah, yeah, yeah, just do that. Why? Because you just understand that they're just having a bad day, right, yeah, yeah, just do that. Why? Because you just understand that they're just having a bad day right. Yeah, and you know what, if we just gave ourselves some grace and said sometimes it's just a bad day, yeah, yeah, sometimes, like I think we were somewhere, all of us were somewhere, and somebody was just really rude or something and we said they must just really be having a bad day you know, and what about you, baby?

Speaker 2 18:43

What do you do if somebody's just having a bad day?

Speaker 1 18:47

I am with a friend.

Speaker 2 18:49

Yeah, but what if they don't be your friend? Maybe they slap you in the head or something. What would you do?

Speaker 1 18:55

I would make a new friend.

Speaker 2 18:57

Just walk away. Yeah, sometimes you just have to walk away. You just have to walk away. You just have to walk away. Not a chance, right yeah, are you excited about going into pre-K-4?

Speaker 1 19:13

And I love my new backpack.

Speaker 2 19:15

You love it. Well, you have to love your backpack, because it's just you're going to carry it for the whole year. Yeah, you're excited. What about you Wes? Yeah, kind of You're going to be in what grade? Fourth, what are you excited about fourth grade?

Speaker 1 19:35

Maybe to see my friends, yeah.

Speaker 2 19:37

Yeah, see your friends. That's always what I like, didn't you? What was the most exciting thing to you guys when you went back to school?

Speaker 4 19:47

Getting new clothes, new shoes, new shoes Just the chance to be a new person.

Speaker 3 19:58

I always went back with the idea that new year, learn new things. You know I was a nerd. I mean, I was. I can't imagine.

Speaker 2 20:11

Front of the class. I'm sure, yeah, I was, but I also.

Speaker 3 20:15

there was that part of me that couldn't resist being the class clown. Yeah and yeah but, but I always, you know, I wanted to see my friends and I don't know most of my friends. After we moved to Houston, I was in sixth grade. Most of my friends, uh, it was hard to have friends because the way the schools were, where we were, um, everybody had to ride the bus, you know, to school, so we all lived far apart from each other, so you couldn't have a good friend to walk home with, or go well, you know, walk over to their house and

Speaker 4 21:03

stuff like that, that's living out in the country, being rural, yeah, yeah, you don't have any close neighbors. The kids can't go next door and play, they have to go across town yeah, so during the summer you just didn't see each other yeah, a lot of times yeah yeah, yeah, you just uh entertained yourself, yeah, and did whatever I, I just got lost in books.

Speaker 3 21:29

I mean honest and truly. Um, I remember when that, that first summer, and somebody said there's a bookmobile up at the elementary school and I was on my bike and I was, you know, and and I just couldn't wait, um, because there weren't a lot of kids to do things with and you know, your brother and sister, you can only do something a lot much with them before they get on your nerves.

Speaker 2 21:55

Yeah, wesley gets that, but I did I?

Back to School Excitement

Speaker 3 21:56

just I lost myself in books and things I wanted to read you know, and I was always getting yelled at about go outside. I am outside, but you're not doing anything, I am doing something, I'm reading a book.

Speaker 2 22:13

I mean I really loved. I guess when I was growing up we read the whole series of Little House on the Prairie. Yeah, there was this book, the first book I think I sat and read all the way through, just got really into it was called Island of the Blue Dolphins and I don't know how I was studying Nancy Drew in elementary school.

Speaker 2 22:33

Yeah, my mom did a lot. My mom could sit and read a book just in a few hours. I mean, she could just read it and she just loved to read it and she'd read it over and over and over and over and over, you know, but I never got into like reading, like that. But now I wish I had time to sit and read and just I miss those times when I could sit.

Speaker 3 22:58

I would just curl up here on the couch and read all day long.

Speaker 2 23:02

Yeah, my grandmother was like, of course they were harlequin romances, you know what I'm saying. But she but, but you know, that was a big thing. Books were a big thing and there were luxury.

Speaker 3 23:13

It wasn't something everybody had the ability to do I remember we used to get and I think they came out once a quarter the reader's dodges yeah, oh yeah, we got the reader's digest yeah and we would get that thing. And before anybody could touch it, I had it open and I was going through to see what books were in there yeah and and I would read until I'd read every single book in there yeah, mama kept them in the bathroom.

Speaker 2 23:36

So, like you know, you go there and you just have your library. That's why they called it the library. Yes, yeah. So here we go. We're going back into a new school year, so I'm going to ask these little ones, as we're closing out today, to say a prayer over all the kids going back to school. What do you want to say, baby? What prayer do you want to say over the kids?

Speaker 1 23:59

prayer do you want to say over the kids? I would like to say, god, I love you and I love the kids all by myself.

Prayer for Schools and Children

Speaker 2 24:09

Thank you, baby Alright Wesley. Why don't you lean over to the mic and just say a prayer for all the little kids going back to school? Just lean into there, you know how to pray. Get up to the microphone and just pray. Pray for the kids.

Speaker 1 24:26

Everybody has a good school year and we have friends and all that and we're learning Into a new school year.

Speaker 2 24:36

Yeah, good job. So let's just pray. Sister Audia, why don't you get up to the mic and send a prayer over the kids, the teachers, the janitors, everybody that's associated with our schools and our children, over our nation, over our state, over our cities? And you know, we've been talking about taking authority over the enemy, over our territories, and I want to just, uh, I want to tell each one that's listening take a moment to go and pray over your city, go pray over your schools.

Speaker 2 25:12

There's a person I know in in our town that they're meeting on sunday evening. We're never able to get to go because we're always so busy on sundays, but they're making a point to go and walk around the school grounds and pray. Um, but you can pray, you can intercede for your schools, intercede for your principals and everyone, and let's do that. Let's make that a point to where we begin right now, as the school years are starting to take off. I think one of the school districts starts in two weeks, I think Wesley and them. They start in like two weeks from Wednesday, I think.

Speaker 2 25:56

Terrell starts a week before that, and so it's already starting earlier, and then baby doesn't go till the end of the month Earlier, and then baby doesn't go till the end of the month. But so let's just go ahead and take this time to pray over our nation, our state and our cities and our schools.

Speaker 3 26:12

Father God, we just come to you in the precious name of Jesus. Father God, we know that you are the one in charge here, lord, and we, lord, we repent of the leaders that took God out of our schools, that took prayer out of our schools. And, father God, we just ask that we, as Christians, we come against violence in our schools. Lord, we speak healing over our schools. Father God, we speak against bullying, yeah, and we speak against the racism and the attitude that, lord, we just speak against those attitudes of entitlement that they think that brings on the bullying, that brings on the violence.

Speaker 3 27:15

Father God, we pray for our teachers, lord. We ask for godly teachers. We ask for teachers that want to teach our children what school was meant for reading, writing, arithmetic, science and and lord, we just ask for teachers, too, that are not afraid to stand up and say, no, you can't do that. I will not teach these woke ideologies in my classroom and in, father god, I just pray that we have teachers of strength, teachers of character, but more most, I pray that we have teachers that love you and that show kindness and understanding and patience to these children that come into their school.

Speaker 3 28:11

And, father God, I pray over administrators and principals and counselors in our schools. And, father God, I just ask you you give them the heart to love these children, even the ones that on days seem unlovable. Lord, give them a heart of you, a heart of kindness, of mercy. And, father god, I just pray for every kid that comes into the school, the new kids that know, know anyone. I pray for children who will go up and be a friend for them.

Speaker 3 28:51

And, father god, I pray for our state, our state administrators, our state legislature, right now as they make rules governing our schools. Lord, lord, we just want, we don't want, lord, we decree and declare that there will no laws come forward that are not of you in our schools. And, father God, we just pray over our leadership in Texas, our governor, our lieutenant governor, our attorney general. Lord, we just ask for leadership of people with a heart for you and a backbone to stand up to the things that we know that are wrong. And, father God, I also pray this in our nation, father god, we, we are so grateful for a praying president, lord, but right now we know that there are things in our country that are going to affect our children, that are going to affect how things are taught in our schools. And, god, we just pray, in fact, we decree and declare that God will be in our schools, that there will be more of God and less of greed in our schools, in our country.

Speaker 3 30:18

And, father God, we just ask that you, as these days go forward, prepare these children, give them open hearts, open minds to receive education. And, lord, let them also know that school is a time to make friends, it is a time to enjoy being a kid, and let them be a kid, to enjoy being a kid, and let them be a kid. But also, lord, give them hearts to learn and minds that are in tune to you. And, father God, I just ask all of this in your precious name, your Son and our King, jesus Christ, amen.

Speaker 2 30:59

Amen, amen, yeah. And well, of course in. We've got new laws this year, yeah, where we have the Ten Commandments in the classroom. They're going to be taught and there's actually going to be classes on Christianity taught in Texas. That's a big move for us and we're excited about that. But you know, it starts with us Wes, it starts with each one of us, you know. And so when we end our podcast, we always say the same thing okay, and we say to go show some love, show some compassion, give mercy and go be Jesus today.

Speaker 2 31:37

Yes.

Speaker 3 31:39

And I just want to add to you, Wesley, when you go to school, that should be your motto, I think every day if kids would say those four things, schools would be different.

Speaker 2 31:52

Yeah, so go teach them. All right, we love y'all. Thank y'all for being with us. Baby, thank you for being with us today. Do you want to say goodbye to everybody?
