As summer winds down and we wrap up our July Book Club series, we’re closing with a conversation that brings the heart of kids ministry into full focus. In this episode we reflect on Kids Ministry That Nourishes by Jana Magruder—a book that has reminded us not just why we lead, but how we lead with purpose.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how to make a lasting spiritual impact in the lives of the kids and families you serve, today’s episode is for you. We’re diving deep into the three essential nutrients of a thriving ministry—kingdom expanding, heart transforming, and culture shaping—and how each of them work together to build ministries that truly nourish.

In this thoughtful and inspiring conclusion to our July series, we explore what it means to lead a culture shaping ministry that equips kids to share their faith and serve others with confidence. We dig into the importance of shaping a culture where kids are not just protected from the world, but prepared to engage it with truth, grace, and boldness.

As we close this series, we hope you’re walking away refreshed and reminded that what you do truly matters. Kids ministry isn’t about filling time or checking boxes—it’s about cultivating faith that lasts for eternity.

If this episode encouraged you, would you take a moment to rate and review the podcast? And better yet—share this episode with someone in ministry who might need the reminder that they’re making a difference.
