EP #26 - Learning to Live as a Beloved Child - Interview with Larry McKnight

Jesus said unless we change and become like children, we will not enter the kingdom of heaven. What does this mean? Clearly childlikeness is a premium. God’s nature is relational. He is Love and He is Father to a race of children He adores. Knowing God rightly empowers us to rest in the foundational truth that we are beloved children and from that place know who we are and how to receive, function, and operate in restful but powerful ways. Join Larry McKnight and myself as we discuss these powerful, game-changing truths! You would call Larry McKnight a happy, secure Jesus follower—this in spite of leading as a pastor and bible teacher for 40-plus years! Larry’s relationship with God is fresh, open, and biblical. By learning to stay vitally connected to Jesus, Larry lives free from guilt, shame, and most insecurity. He’s passionate to help you do the same. Grounded with a degree in Pastoral Theology from the founding days of Salem Bible College (Oregon) Larry was a pioneering pastor for the Assemblies of God, the Vineyard, and presently for Joyland and Joylandlife.com. Larry married Vickie 45-years ago. They’re still in love. Larry and Joyland offer multiple online opportunities each week. These include encounter meetings, discussion groups, and bible studies. All these can be accessed and fully participated in through Zoom and a few are available for Pikes Peak Regional locals to attend in person.
