0:00.0	Thanks for tuning in to this episode of the Sword and Trial. Today, Graham and I get to talk about one of our favorite subjects, and that is children. Graham is in the process of raising children. I'm in the process of spoiling children as a grandparent. And we want to talk about children in worship particularly and how we've thought about that over the years. He's in the throes of it.
0:22.2	Don and I have done that.
0:26.3	And we now have the benefit of seeing others do that in the church.
0:27.3	We want to help them with that.
0:32.3	We want our whole church to be involved in helping children learn to worship God corporately in the gatherings of God's people.
0:34.7	So help us by liking this podcast or if you've not already
0:39.5	signed up on your favorite podcast platform. We'd appreciate if you do that. We hope that this
0:44.4	conversation will be edifying to you. Welcome to the Sword and Trial.
0:55.7	Sword and Trial's podcast of Founders Ministries and Founders Exists for the Recovery of the Gospel

1:17.2	But nevertheless, both of us care about it deeply as pastors and as parents and now as a grandparent.
1:22.4	And that is children in church, or specifically children in worship service.
1:29.6	Graham, you got three kids,
1:35.6	right? And they are six. Five, three and one and a half. Five three and one and a half.
1:40.8	And your children are with you and your wife regularly, Sunday morning, Sunday night,
1:45.4	Wednesday night in our times of stated gatherings. So why in the world do you do that? Well, we just kind of gloss over that part of the scripture that says fathers do not
1:50.1	exasperate your children. No, I'm kidding. They are not exasperated at all of being in the service.
