Today I'm joined by Bro. Myles and we're talking about "Easy" vs "Simple" We often chase simplicity because we think it will make things easier. We want the clear plan, the straightforward system, the step-by-step path that removes confusion. And while simplicity does give us clarity, it doesn’t remove the effort required to execute. In fact, the moment something becomes truly simple, it can actually feel harder. Why? Because there’s no more hiding behind complexity. No more overthinking or c...
Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron and we're talking about the balance of discipline and flexibility. We all love the idea of “set it and forget it.” Build a routine, lock in a system, and let it run. It feels efficient. It feels in control. But real life doesn’t stay fixed, and neither do we. The challenge isn’t choosing between discipline and flexibility. It’s learning how to hold both. Some of the things we try to cover: Why we crave "Set it and forget it"The reality: Nothing stays setTh...
Today I'm joined by Bro. Luis and we're talking about actually connecting in the room where you're following a script. There’s a difference between showing up with a perfect plan and actually connecting with the people in front of you. Whether you're leading kids, a team, or a room full of energy, the real skill is learning how to “read the room” and adjust in real time. Today, we’re talking about how to hold a plan loosely, and lead people well. Some of the things we try to cover: Ha...
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...
