Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron and we're talking about epic Sunday school!

The most memorable children’s productions often emerge from the smallest ideas. When directing Sunday school, the magic often lies in taking the seemingly insignificant – a quick joke, a minor character interaction, or a fleeting moment – and transforming it into something spectacular. Sunday school can thrive on this kind of amplification, where small seeds grow into unforgettable theatrical experiences.

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Amplify small things
• Creating a visual spectacle
• If the character thinks it's important, then it is
• Highlight the unexpected

Today I'm joined by Bro. Matthew and we're talking about labels.

Imagine as a Kidmin leader you walk into an event and a guy yells out, “goofy, crazy, silly!” Then someone else chimes in, “immature, foolish, shallow!” And then an official looking lady comes up with a huge sticker that has all these words and places it squarely on your forehead to wear for the duration of the event. Imagine how you might interact knowing that every time you engaged with someone they were staring at that label.

When we assign labels to those on our staff or those kids in our care, we participate in a powerful act of identity formation. Whether positive or negative, these labels can deeply influence how people behave and grow in their walk with God. Today we want to talk about labeling others and even reevaluating our own labels. 

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Shake it off
• God isn't disappointed in you
• Self-fulfilling nature of labels
• Top-of-the-line label maker

Today I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we're talking about maximizing the potential that God gave us.

As leaders in the church, we carry a profound responsibility. God has placed unique gifts, talents, and resources in our care—not merely for safekeeping, but for multiplication. 

The parable of the talents in Matthew 25 reminds us that faithfulness isn't measured by preservation alone, but by wise stewardship that yields growth. When we recognize that everything we possess comes from God's hand, we understand that we are accountable for how we develop and deploy these divine investments. 

Our calling is not simply to maintain what we've been given, but to maximize our God-given potential for His glory and the advancement of His kingdom.

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Intentional uniqueness
• Divine accountability
• Growth mindset
• Investment
