Today I'm joined by Matthew and we're talking about putting frameworks in place to reach your goals.

Our ultimate goal as Sunday school leaders is to see kids saved and for them to grow spiritually. Sometimes we can get inspired and want to put a number goal on how many kids will receive the Holy Ghost this year, or how many kids will repent or be baptized. 
While having these goals is fine and having clear objectives is crucial, an excessive focus on outcomes can sometimes be counterproductive. 
If we shift our focus to the processes that we can put in place, this will lead to sustainable goal achievement. 

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Cultivate Consistency and Continuous Improvement
• Build a Process Framework
• Focus on Biblical Education

Coming up!

I'm joined by Matthew Critcher and we're talking about processes in Sunday school.

This is our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY episode!!!

We've released an episode every single Friday for a year now... whew!

Today, we're taking a look at our top 5 episodes.

Today I'm joined by Bro. Steve Arter and we're talking about influence as Sunday school leaders.

As Sunday school teachers, we play a crucial role in shaping young minds and hearts. Our position may seem humble, but it carries immense responsibility and potential. To maximize our impact and grow as leaders, it's essential to focus on developing our own selves. 
Today we want to talk about three key areas that can help us become more effective and influential Sunday school leaders. 

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Clarify Apostolic Values
• Servant Leadership
• Sphere of Influence

Coming up!

I'm joined by Steve Arter and we're talking about cultivating your influence as a Sunday school leader.

Today I'm joined by Auryela and Nicole and we're talking about having a servant culture in kids ministry.

Not everyone becomes a preacher or preaches on the world stage. Not every girl becomes a preacher’s wife or gets to sing at the biggest conferences, but everyone has their place in the kingdom of God. 
I think lofty goals and dreams of grandeur are great and I don’t ever want to suppress that. 
Hand in hand with that, I believe there are many areas to serve in God’s kingdom. It is our job as Sunday school leaders and teachers to help light the path, to show the way to kids under our guidance on any given Sunday that they too can have a place to serve the kingdom. 

Coming up!

I'm joined by Auryela and Nicole and we're talking about their transition from being a kid in Sunday school to now being staff.

Today I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we're talking about developing talent in kids ministry. Developing staff and kids both.

Kids ministry is a place where talent is born. This can be on a few different levels. When we are ministering to kids, we are trying to bring them closer to God and we want to help them discover their God-given talents. But Sunday school is also where our staff is able to be developed. 
Staff development has happened as a by-product of what we do; giving people experience talking in front of people, being on stage, and working with a team. Today we want to talk about being intentional with that staff development. 

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Getting over stage fright
• Low-Risk Threshold opportunity
• Entry level for several roles
• Intentional development

Coming up!

I'm joined by Kyle and we're talking about developing talent in our Sunday school.

Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron, and we're discussing ways to implement cliffhangers in your Sunday school.

When I was growing up, I read a lot of the Hardy Boys series. I remember that many times a chapter would end in suspense, it left you wondering what would happen to them. That made you want to turn the page and keep reading. 

In Sunday school we want kids to have such a good time that they want to come back and one of the many methods we use is cliffhangers. We have continuous theme storylines, and the kids become invested in the story and want to know what will happen next. Today we want to talk about using cliffhangers in Sunday school.
