Today I'm joined by Bro. Myles and we're talking about the 'Broken Windows' philosophy in the context of Sunday school leadership.

The Broken Windows Theory, first introduced in criminology, suggests that visible signs of disorder and neglect in a neighborhood lead to more serious crimes. 

When applied to leadership and organizational management, this principle offers profound insights into how small issues can cascade into larger problems, and conversely, how attention to detail can foster a culture of excellence. 

Some of the things we try to cover:
1. Small Problems Signal Bigger Issues
2. Culture is Built in the Details
3. Prevention is Less Investment Than Repair
4. Excellence is Contagious

Today I'm joined by Steve Arter and we're talking about designing a plan for growth-it doesn't just happen.

Hoping your team will improve is not a strategy. Real growth requires intention, attention, and action. The difference between good teams and great teams often lies not in their potential, but in their approach to development. Great teams understand that excellence is a choice made daily through intentional actions and deliberate practice.

Your team's future success isn't determined by chance – it's determined by the choices you make today about how you'll grow tomorrow. Make those choices count. 

Today I'm joined by Aaron Boggs and we're talking about our Sunday School practices.

In our Sunday school, we have practice every week. While every Sunday school is different and some cannot have practice due to various logistics, we want to provide a few tips on what we do every week. 
There is always the balance of getting it quote, “perfect” and operating under the limited time available. It's also about finding the sweet spot between having a solid plan and letting creativity flow. Sure, everyone needs to nail their individual parts, but magic happens when the whole team clicks together. 

The trick is to be intentional about everything you do and collaborate with your team. When everyone “gets it” – from the lead actors to the facilitators – you can create an incredible experience that makes kids glad they came and want to come back.
