If you're not a Baptist (and we still love you even if you are), you're probably no stranger to the idea of infant baptism. 

The doctrine of paedobaptism is saturated with the idea that the children of believers are heirs of the covenant of grace, and through baptism are welcomed into God's family. 

But did you know that for several centuries of church history, the youngest believers weren't just baptized, but were also given communion?

Join us for an episode that might ruffle a little feathers, where we discuss the history of paedocommunion. But just remember, if you don't ruffle any feathers, you'll never make any pillows. So bear with us. We love ya.
