You're listening to the Family Discibleship Podcast, a podcast of Training the Church.

This is Adam Griffin, and before we get to our topic of the hour, let me first introduce my two lovely co-hosts.

First, the professor of family baptism, Mrs. Cassie, Bryant. How you doing today,

Cassie? Oh, I feel very distinguished. Oh, good. Well, speaking of distinguished guests,

the first lady of the Griffin household, Chelsea Griffin, how are you doing today, Chelsea?

Never been better. Happy to be here. Happy to be the first lady of our household. How are you, Adam?

That's the real question.

Oh, wow. Thanks for asking, Chelsea. I feel it good. You know what? I don't love wearing headphones this long. I feel like I could use with a little ear space. But other than that, I'm doing good. If you had hair, it would give you cushion. Yes, that's what I need. If toupees would come back in style, actually. I feel much better. You know, Cassie, Chelsea and I've talked several times

about maybe when we go on a... Yes, that's what I need. If two pays would come back in style, actually, I'd feel much better.

You know, Cassie, Chelsea and I've talked several times about maybe when we go on a family vacation, the far enough away where we wouldn't know anybody that I could try out. Just try one out for a week and just see if people notice if I get a lot of stairs. And if it's the good kind or the bad kind, I don't know. I think if you find one that's a mullet, since those are back, then you're gold.

No one's going to second guess a mullet. My goodness, this is a great idea. In fact, we could ask our listeners, what's the best hairstyle wig for me to try? And then we could maybe try one on a vacation and see if any of them pass the test. I want to see you with frosted tips like you had in college. Oh my goodness. Those are not professionally done. We might need to throw a picture of Adam in college in on the show notes. You wouldn't even recognize me. Cassie, you may never remember this, but there was a staff meeting once. Oh, I remember. We had a picture of myself in high school, and Liz, who was on her

staff, looked at it, goes, who is that? And I said, that's me. And she goes, oh, my goodness, Adam, you were handsome. And I was like, what a past tense insult. That's what we did. I think you're getting handsomer all the time. Oh, thanks, babe. You're the best. I love your salt and pepper beard. Oh, I'm working on it. Yeah, I think it's, I'm starting to feel like a third feel,

guys. Oh, sorry. I'm just kidding. Well, we're trying to work our way up to a just for men sponsorship at the podcast. Maybe we can get a toupee sponsor. Gosh, that would be great. Free toupee. They'll send me a box of samples. I would try them all.

Well, ladies, today we've got an important topic. Is my child, is my son or daughter, is my kid,

ready to be baptized. So let's get started. All right, today I want to tackle a big question.

For those in the Believers baptism world, this is going to be a question maybe you've asked a lot.

But first, let's talk about why this episode might still be a worthwhile listen for someone who practices what we call Pato baptism, or the baptism of infants and babies.

Chelsea, why don't you kick us off?

What can a Pato Baptist expect to get out of a conversation

about is my kid ready to be baptized? Sure. I feel like I have the expertise and the knowledge here.

If you baptize babies, then I would like to say your baby is ready.

So it's a yes, no, this is a short episode for you. Yes. Yes. If the child is born, it's ready.
