In life and ministry, there are moments when we must say goodbye to things we once held dear. Whether it's a tradition, a way of doing things, or even relationships, letting go can feel like losing a part of ourselves. As we reflect on what we remember from these moments, we recognize that saying goodbye isn’t easy—it can feel personal, emotional, and sometimes disruptive. Yet, every ending is also the beginning of something new. In the space left behind, there is room for growth, transformation, and fresh possibilities. What feels like loss today might just be the fertile ground for tomorrow's hope.

Candice Wynn and Robert E. Purvey sit down to talk about change and beginning again.

Our Next Gen Ministries are most effective when they can journey with someone from a kid-sized faith to a young adult faith - that is, from Children’s Ministry all they way to Young Adult Ministry. Yet, most declines within Next Gen Ministry happen when kids or teens transition from one grade-level ministry to another. If the handoff isn’t done well, students end up disconnecting and not getting what they need at that stage of life.

In this convo, Candice Wynn and Robert E. Purvey are joined by Terra Cartina and Jaye Wallace to talk about how to merge that gap between grade level ministries.
