About this listen
In this episode of Voices, Kristyn Russell explores how a simple observation from a two-year-old can reshape how we see Jesus, faith, and what it means to live humbly. Through a story about babysitting, a playground, and a child’s longing to hug Jesus on the cross, she reminds us that true faith isn’t about degrees or self-righteousness—it’s about love, presence, and walking alongside Christ. Drawing from Luke’s Gospel, this reflection challenges us to let go of superiority and embrace the simple, mustard-seed faith that welcomes the poor, the lonely, and the outcast. Who in your life needs a “hug” this week?
