Speaking the Language of Children: Playtime as Discipleship - Lori Crosby - Media # 24602

From preschool to middle school (and beyond!), play is a primary means of connection. Playtime is not just a way to kill time before the “real” ministry work begins. When used strategically, play creates conditions for healing, builds relationships, and demonstrates God’s love. Join play therapist Lori Crosby in this session as we explore how inclusive play can be an integral tool in reaching the kids in our ministries in the language they understand best.
