Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S11E5: Solving Discipleship Challenges in Next Gen and Kids Ministry with Danielle Bell
Q: How can churches help parents partner more effectively in disciple-making with kids?
Encourage parents by modeling disciple-making at church, providing simple practices they can do at home, and equipping them with Gospel-centered resources and conversations, such as short cards and easy messaging that connect faith to everyday life.
S11E5: Solving Discipleship Challenges in Next Gen and Kids Ministry with Danielle Bell
Q: What are the biggest challenges facing kids' ministry leaders today, and how are churches adapting post-COVID?
The main challenges are competing activities and inconsistent attendance, which makes sustained disciple-making hard; solutions include leveraging consistent Gospel-centered moments, connecting with families, and practical, simple steps rather than overhauling programs.
S10E8: More Disciple Making Lessons for Church Leaders with John McClendon Part 2
Q: Why is setting clear expectations with leaders so important, and how should churches handle covenant-like documents?
Clear expectations prevent ambushes in ministry, provide a framework for accountability, and should involve the teachers in crafting a two-sided document that states both what the leaders can expect from the church and what the church expects from them, ensuring mutual buy-in.
S10E8: More Disciple Making Lessons for Church Leaders with John McClendon Part 2
Q: What's number one on this episode's list and how does it relate to the previous session?
Number one on this session's list, which corresponds to number six on the overall list, emphasizes celebrating more than correcting, and it ties back to the prior point about choosing battles wisely by affirming positive progress and consistent wins to motivate leaders.
S11E2: Disciple-making That Actually Works with Scott Sullivan Pt.1
Q: What are you seeing as genuinely effective in disciple making in Georgia?
Scott emphasizes intentional plans, four-part framework (Formed): disciple-making environments, intentional multiplication, real relationships, and transformational teaching, plus a move toward in-person cohorts and a broader access to quality training.
