👶 What if greatness in God’s kingdom looked nothing like power, status, or recognition?

In this humbling episode of the Talkin’ Bible podcast, Rohan Bell and Jeff Baxter dive into Jesus’ surprising response to a common question: "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

📖 From Matthew 18, Mark 9, and Luke 9, we explore Jesus’ radical invitation to become like little children—and what it means to lead, love, and serve from a place of lowliness and humility.

➡️ In this episode, we unpack:

Why Jesus used a small child as the ultimate sermon illustration

How the disciples’ quest for position and power mirrors our own modern struggles

What it really means to be the least—and why that’s where true greatness lies

The difference between serving to be great vs. greatness flowing out of service

Why Jesus says, “Whoever welcomes a child in my name welcomes me—and the Father”

💡 “Jesus turns the whole thing upside down. In His kingdom, the lowliest are lifted, and the quiet faithful ones shine the brightest.”

🙋‍♂️ Reflection questions:

Do I long for recognition more than obedience?

In what ways can I welcome others—especially the overlooked—with the same value Jesus gives them?

Am I willing to trust, depend, and follow Jesus with the humility of a child?
