Only one child showed up? That’s not a problem, that’s a beginning! In this episode, we explore the power of small beginnings and remind you that God sees every effort, every prayer, and every moment of faithfulness. You’ll hear inspiring stories of tiny Sunday school classes, solo bus riders, and one-child moments that turned into life-changing ministry experiences. Packed with scripture, encouragement, and a little humor, One and Done? Not Even Close! will remind you that even the smallest start can lead to eternal impact, and that your ministry matters more than you realize.

This episode was born out of a family reunion, where we discovered something powerful, our children are 7th generation Pentecostals. That realization sparked a deep conversation about what it really means to hand the truth down to the next generation. In today’s world, kids and young people aren’t interested in empty traditions or surface-level faith. They’re hungry for something genuine, something real, truth without fluff.

Join us as we talk about the responsibility and privilege of passing down an authentic Apostolic faith, living it in a way that the next generation can not only inherit, but also experience for themselves.

This episode comes to you live from the open road—complete with car noise, bumps, and Siri constantly telling us when to turn left. (Don’t worry, we didn’t invite her as a guest… she just insists on joining in.) While it may not be the quietest recording studio, it actually sets the perfect scene for our conversation: serving from the background. Not every role gets the spotlight, microphone, or stage, but that doesn’t mean it’s not important. In fact, some of the most meaningful work happens quietly, behind the scenes, while we stay faithful and keep moving forward.

What do Super Kids Church in Redlands, the Summit Conference in Pigeon Forge, a van that didn’t want to cooperate, a round of sickness, and yes, even a moth in someone’s ear have in common? They all showed up in our last five weeks of ministry. From hilarious mishaps to powerful altar moments, we share the victories, the battles, and how God can move even when things get a little… buggy.

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.
