Today I'm joined by Bro. Myles and we're talking about leveling up! It's time to 10X your goals!

Children’s ministry thrives where big vision meets strong leadership. The idea of “10X” challenges us to set goals ten times bigger and take ten times the action. John Maxwell’s Law of the Lid reminds us that our results will never exceed our leadership capacity. 

Some of the things we try to cover:

• See Potential Like God Does
• Take Massive Action
• Raise the Lid

Today I'm joined by Bro. Matthew and we're talking about unnoticed influence!

We don’t always realize who is watching us. A child in the back of the room, a teenager in the hallway, or a new guest on the fringes may be quietly studying our words, tone, and choices.

Small things we do—both good and bad—can stick in a child’s mind and alter their course for years to come. That’s why it’s essential to live with intentionality, humility, and self-awareness. We can’t control every perception, but we can control our example.

Some of the things we try to cover:

• You're Always Leading, Even When You Don't Know It
• Your Impact Can Be Good or Bad
• Lead With Intentional Self-Awareness

Today I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we're talking about elevating your starting point.

In leadership, growth rarely happens in comfort. The line between ordinary and exceptional often lies in where we place our baseline—our mental standard for what’s normal, acceptable, and sustainable. For most people, discomfort signals it’s time to stop. But for elite leaders—like the Navy SEALs—discomfort is where the work begins. Their baseline isn’t comfort, it’s hardship. And that mental shift makes all the difference.

To lead at a higher level, you must learn to reset your baseline. What you consider difficult today should become your new normal tomorrow. This article explores how leaders can adopt that mindset and push beyond self-imposed limits. 

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Identify Your Current Baseline
• Shift From Comfort-Seeking To Capacity-Building
• Sustain The New Baseline Through Rhythms and Systems

Today I'm joined by Aaron & Brent, and we're talking about our recent Conference Children's Church.

Every August, our church in Chehalis, WA, hosts a Youth Conference, and on Thursday night and Friday night, we have Children's Church.

This year was a Gladiator theme and Apostle Paul.

We sat down to kind of recap some of the highlights from this year.
