Strap in, folks — this year’s SuperSunday was a mission like no other! In this episode, we’re recapping our Blast Back to School event, where we turned our church into a launchpad for excitement, purpose, and impact. 🚀

With a 12-foot rocket, an 8-foot Time Machine, and even a couple of time-traveling mini-me’s (shoutout to Vana and Cooper), the day was packed with unforgettable fun. But the true heartbeat of the event came through moments of deep impact.

Our Outreach Director, Bro. Quante — a former bus kid himself — shared a powerful testimony about how outreach changed his life. We also blessed our kids with backpacks full of school supplies, prayer cloths, and other essentials, preparing them for a successful school year both practically and spiritually.

One special touch: many of the giveaway items were generously donated by Sister Tina Bullock before her passing earlier this year. Her legacy of love and giving continues to touch the lives of the next generation — proving exactly what Bro. Quante spoke about. It all matters. From the smallest gesture to the grandest effort, every act counts in the Kingdom.

Tune in for stories, inspiration, and the why behind every rocket, time machine, and prayer-filled backpack.

In this episode, we sit down with none other than Sister Bradshaw to talk about her very first Vacation Bible School curriculum, The Glory Train! Inspired by the power and presence of God, this train-themed VBS was written entirely from scratch and packed full of creativity, chaos, and calling.

From sleepless nights and last-minute edits to moments of pure inspiration and Holy Ghost goosebumps, we unpack the good, the bad, and yes… even the ugly. Sister Bradshaw takes us behind the scenes, sharing the wild ride of bringing The Glory Train to life. You’ll hear about the brainstorming, the breakdowns, and the breakthroughs that made this VBS more than just a program, it became a move of God.

We dive deep into the lessons learned along the tracks: the importance of preparation, the beauty of flexibility, the necessity of a solid team, and how God can take our humble efforts and turn them into something powerful. Whether you’re a children’s ministry veteran or just love a good testimony, this episode is full of laughs, learning, and a whole lot of heart.

So grab your conductor’s hat and hop aboard, The Glory Train is leaving the station!

In this episode, we dive into one of the most well-known parables in the Bible, the story of the prodigal son. But this time, we uncover a powerful cultural context that’s often overlooked: Kezazah.

Kezazah (severing or cutting off) was a Jewish custom, a public shaming ceremony for any Jewish man who lost his inheritance to Gentiles and dared return home. It involved community rejection, symbolic breaking of a clay pot, and permanent separation. Knowing this, the father’s actions in Luke 15 take on an entirely new meaning.

Why did the father run? Not just out of love or joy, but to get to his son before the village could. He ran to cover his son with grace, to protect him from shame, and to restore him before the world could reject him.

Join us as we explore the emotional, cultural, and spiritual weight of this story, and how it reflects the heart of our Heavenly Father who runs toward us, even when we don’t deserve it.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what real life looks like behind the social media posts. It's easy to scroll through Instagram or Facebook and feel like everyone else has it all together, the perfect kids, the thriving ministry, the spotless house, the packed-out events. But what we often don’t see are the late nights, the disappointments, the tears, and the prayers that feel unanswered.

We're talking about the unseen moments, the struggles, the small wins, the quiet faithfulness when no one’s clapping. Ministry, parenting, and just plain life aren’t always camera-ready, but they matter just as much, if not more, than the highlight reel. In fact, that’s usually where God does His deepest work.

This conversation is a reminder that you’re not alone, that real is better than perfect, and that your behind-the-scenes faithfulness is seen by the One who matters most.

In this episode, we explore what it means to lead when you're not holding the mic. Ministry doesn’t stop when the lights go off or when you step out of the classroom, because kids are always watching. Your faithfulness in the unseen moments, the way you serve, speak, and carry yourself when you're “offstage” is often what prepares you for fruitfulness in the moments everyone sees. We talk about hallway conversations, parking lot prayers, family walks, Walmart runs and how your quiet consistency can preach louder than a sermon. Leadership isn’t just a role, it’s a lifestyle. And sometimes, the most powerful lessons are caught, not taught.

In this episode, we sit down and reflect on our recent trip to sunny California for the 2025 SCC Children's Ministry Conference! From palm trees to powerful sessions, we’re unpacking it all. We’re joined by our kids as they share their favorite moments from the trip, everything from travel adventures to making new friends and the fun in between.

We also dive into the conference itself: the sessions that challenged and inspired us, what we’re bringing home to apply in our own ministry, and how this experience stirred our hearts for the next season. Along the way, we share some laughs, memorable moments, and stories of reconnecting with old friends and forming new connections with fellow children's ministers.

Whether you went to SCC or are just curious about what God is doing through children’s ministry leaders across the country, this episode will give you a behind-the-scenes look and (hopefully!) leave you encouraged and energized.

In this powerful and transparent episode, we sit down to unpack what it really means to be sold out in children’s ministry. It's easy to fall into routines, going through the motions, doing what’s expected, checking boxes. But kids can sense when our hearts aren’t fully in it. They know when the passion is missing. And when we serve half-heartedly, everything starts to feel forced, our lessons, our worship, our altar calls.

Together, we explore the importance of leaving it all on the field every single week. Being “all in” isn’t about perfection, it’s about passion, commitment, and being fully present in the calling God has placed on our lives. We talk about the difference it makes when leaders pour everything they have into their teams, their classes, and their kids. We also discuss the spiritual responsibility we carry and how the consistency of giving our best opens the door for God to move powerfully in young hearts.

Whether you're a seasoned leader or just getting started, this episode will challenge you to examine how you're showing up and encourage you to give your all, because these kids are worth it, and eternity is too important for anything less.

We imagine immersive Bible experiences, high-tech classrooms, mobile outreach units, and creative ways to connect with families beyond Sunday mornings. But more than just a fun thought experiment, this conversation also challenges us to clarify our vision and recognize how even small steps toward big dreams can make a lasting impact.

In this inspiring episode, we hand the mic over to some of our future leaders, bold, curious, and passionate young people who came together to record their very first podcast! The topic they wanted to explore was powerful: How can I be a witness?

This episode isn’t just for kids or teens, it’s for parents, teachers, youth workers, and anyone who wants to empower the next generation to boldly live out their faith. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just starting your journey, you’ll be encouraged by the wisdom and courage of these young voices.

In this heartfelt episode, we take a closer look at one of the most challenging yet vital parts of children’s ministry: discipline. But instead of just talking rules and consequences, we flip the lens and examine what discipline looks like when viewed through the eyes of mercy.

You’ll hear real talk about balancing structure with compassion, how to correct without crushing, and why some of the most disruptive kids may just be the ones God is reaching for the most.

We also dive into the powerful biblical story of Korah and his children, revealing how God's judgment fell on rebellion BUT His mercy spared a generation, and from that mercy came worshippers and psalmists who would pen some of the most beautiful Psalms in Scripture.

Along the way, we’ll explore:

• Why discipline rooted in love reflects God's nature
• How mercy can transform your classroom
• Practical tips for correcting kids without shaming them
• What it means to “make a difference” like Jude 1:22 says

Whether you’re a Sunday school teacher, kids minister, or just someone who works with children in any capacity, this episode will encourage you, challenge you, and equip you to lead like Jesus, with both truth and grace.
