  • Powerfully relevant podcast

    The interviews and content of the episodes helped me personally as a speaker, writer, and Christian. I highly recommend this show to anyone trying to practically figure out their spiritual walk while living everyday life in a world in desperate need of God. Thank you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

429. The Foundation of Ministry Is Prayer
Q: What is the core foundation of ministry according to your book and this discussion?
The core foundation is prayer; everything in ministry should originate from private and corporate devotions, not from strategy alone.
418. Taking Kidmin to the Next Level
Q: How do you choose curriculum that fits your church?
Pick curricula that align with doctrinal beliefs, support the church's mission, fit the kids' discipleship strategy, and you must consider total cost including materials and supplies.
418. Taking Kidmin to the Next Level
Q: How should a Kidmin leader handle volunteers who aren't a good fit?
Assess fit through clear job definitions, reassign roles when possible, provide feedback and training, involve the lead pastor for major steps, and consider off-boarding if alignment remains poor.
418. Taking Kidmin to the Next Level
Q: What are the three fundamental elements parents and kids look for in kids ministry?
Safety, followed by fun and then discipleship, with each element clearly demonstrated through policy, engaging activities, and solid Bible teaching.
427. Solving the Dishonesty Problem
Q: What is honesty?
Honesty is a virtue that involves consistent truth-telling across situations and circumstances, rooted in concern for others and alignment with what is right, rather than self-interest.
