"God's Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done,
In My Playful Connection to Self, Others, and God, As it Is In Heaven."
“Let the children alone, don’t prevent them from coming to me. God’s Kingdom is made up of people like these"​. We enter the Kingdom through Child-likeness.
Children Trust their parents so much that they can go off, explore, and Play.
​
The kingdom of darkness only wants selfish, harmful, and pleasure-seeking "play" that deteriorates life and relationships. In the face of evil, Christ-followers can Play as a means of resistance - Defiant Joy.
​
Kingdom Play Connects us Deeply to God, ourselves, and each other. It's restorative, refreshing, suspends time, and helps us remember how we truly enter the Kingdom, as children.

As children, and as we grew, how we played was highly influenced and reinforced by our environment. For some, tragically, play wasn't very welcome. Going deep into the stories and memories of how we loved to play and how we are activating or craving those play-states give us permission to move towards playfulness.

Actually Play! We have the opportunity to Play wherever we are and find ways to carve out time for our play preferences. Play can apply to all areas of deep-healing, missional, and relational life. Play is a glue that helps connect and bond humans like nothing else can.

Some Play is individual. A lot of Play is communal. It's important to elevate play within existing networks as well as naming, mapping, and creating new Play networks based on similar play personalities. Prioritizing Play evokes vitality and resilience into any region or system.
