Today I'm joined by Aneisha & Shaylee and this podcast went off the rails! We ended up talking about some past characters and past themes - hope you enjoy!
Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron and we're talking about moving forward! We don't have an outline today, but the premise of what we're talking about is that we must ignore the naysayers and keep moving forward! You won't be criticized by someone doing more than you. Don't give up! A winner is just a loser who tried one more time.
Today I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we're talking about what it takes to have an old-fashioned move of God. There’s a dichotomy many of us feel; we long for a powerful move of God in our kids ministry, like the Azusa Street Revival, but our daily lives don’t always reflect the kind of hunger that produced it. As Horst Schulze (The Ritz-Carlton) said, “We’ve given away who we are, but now we want to be who we were.” The real question is: do we want revival… or just the idea of it? Some of ...
Today I'm joined by Bro. Myles and we're talking about teaching methods for kids. When we think about teaching kids the Bible, it’s easy to imagine sitting them down and explaining theology. But kids don’t learn that way. They learn through stories, play, curiosity, and relationships. If we want kids to grasp biblical concepts and doctrines, we have to translate truth into experiences they can connect with. Some of the things we try to cover Start with story, not explanationTurn big tru...
Today I'm joined by Bro. Brent and we're talking about making the message stick! Think about the stories you still remember from childhood: the playground showdown, the coach’s halftime speech, the moment someone stood up and changed the tone of the room. Those moments stick because they carried tension, meaning, and direction. Most messages don’t fail because they’re wrong; they fade because they’re forgettable. The issue isn’t always attention spans; it’s how the messages are delivered.&nbs...
Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron and we're talking about expanding ourselves. The waterfall was always there. The opportunity, the knowledge, the growth; it didn’t suddenly appear. What changed was our capacity to capture the water. Trying to catch a waterfall with a teacup doesn’t mean the waterfall failed, it means we weren’t ready yet. We need to expand our cup, not blame the source. Some of the things we try to cover: Opportunity Doesn't Arrive When We Want, It Exists When We're Rea...
Today I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we're talking about growing while doing. Growth doesn’t happen in a straight line. It happens while you’re moving, while you’re making decisions, trying things, and occasionally getting it wrong. Growth in Motion is about embracing imperfection, expecting speed bumps, and learning so well from mistakes that nothing is ever truly wasted. Some of what we try to cover: Embrace ImperfectionExpect Speed BumpsDon't Waste Mistakes
Today I'm joined by Bro. Myles and we're talking about the importance of executing on ideas. Les Brown said, “You get three or four thoughts a year that, if acted upon, could change your life.” In children’s ministry and church leadership, those thoughts often look like a new program, a systems improvement, a volunteer strategy, or a better way to reach families. The difference between a good idea and lasting impact isn’t just passion; it’s leadership readiness. You must buildthe capacity to ...
