KidMin Backstage

Coming up!
I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we talk discipleship.

Today I'm joined by Evangelist, Joey Boggs!

It's been a long time coming! Bro. Joey has a lot of Sunday school experience and expertise. He's been on the evangelistic field for several years now and he has even applied some of his Sunday school experience as an evangelist.

Today we reminisce a little and we talk about collaboration.

Two heads are better than one. No such thing as a stupid question. Brainstorm the problem to find a solution. These are all things we’ve heard of and maybe have been a part of. Because, for the most part, it’s true. 
When you involve others, you get more perspective and ideas etc. There are different levels of collaboration from, “What do you think about this idea?”, to “Let’s work on a project and create something together.” We want to talk about how to use collaboration as an effective tool in Sunday school. 

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Teamwork Makes the Dreamwork
• Collaborative Scriptwriting
• Collaborating Outside of Sunday School

Today I'm joined by Bro. Myles.

We’ve all heard the saying, “jack of all trades, master of none”, and it kind of puts a negative light on those that can do a lot, but maybe are not super good at any one thing. And there’s the quote, master. The one who does one thing, but they’re the best. They’re the ones you hire if you want the highest quality. I think we tend to place a high value on these “specialists” and rightly so, but specialists are not the right fit for every situation.

There are some people that seem to know a little bit about everything. These people are extremely valuable to have around and can accomplish so much, yet sometimes they can’t quite reach the level of quality you desire. Today, I’m not necessarily advocating for one or the other, I just merely want to discuss the merits of the two and if there’s any kind of balance we can have.

I'm joined by Myles.

Have you ever seen the beginning of a boxing match where the opponents are just kind of dancing around just out of reach of each other? As an audience, it’s easy to want to push them to, “Go, go, go!” But it looks a lot different from inside the ring. When you’re inside the ring, you’re acutely aware of the danger, of the fact that one misstep could cause severe pain. 
But the winners are the ones who have prepared before they ever stepped foot in the ring. They’ve pushed their selves to the limit repeatedly and they know what they’re capable of. They launch out and attack, sure they must defend and dodge and weave, but ultimately, they execute all that preparation.

To reference today’s title; imagine a boxer that is too worried about what people in the audience think to execute. They wonder if they should’ve worn a different color, or does the ref think his breath stinks? This is extreme and even silly, but we find ourselves in the quote, ring, every Sunday and sometimes we feel inadequate. 


Some of the things we try to cover:

• False Bravado
• Supreme Confidence
• Inadequate and Unqualified

Coming Up!
I'm joined by Bro. Aaron and we talk about the Bashful Boxer - it's all about confidence.

Today I'm joined by Bro. Brennen and we talk about going the extra mile.

In Matthew 5:41 Jesus talks about how if someone asks you to walk a mile you should go two. 
Scholars say that there was a Roman law where any Roman soldier could order a Jewish civilian along the road to carry his baggage, often containing armor and weapons, for one Roman mile, which would be just under one of our miles. 
Whomever the Roman soldier recruited would then have to carry a load that could easily be 80 to 100 pounds for a whole mile. 
Then, once the mile was complete, this unlucky civilian servant could drop it a get relieved. The term extra mile is synonymous with going above and beyond, doing more than what is expected.

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Changing Your Outlook
• Beyond the Bare Minimum
• The Extra Mile Person
• You Can Do Anything for One Hour
• The 2nd Mile is Enjoyable

Coming up! Brennen and I talk about going the extra mile.

Today I'm joined by Matthew and we're talking about the king inside of us and inside the kids we work with every week.

We all know the story, one of the greatest stories ever recorded, David and Goliath. David with a sling stands up to the giant and is victorious.

 David was anointed to be king way before he ever stepped foot into the palace. He fought Goliath when he had no position or authority to do so. But David was destined to be a king.

As Sunday school leaders we need to understand that we are working in the kingdom of the Almighty God. And we need to remember that some of the kids we deal with each week, has a king (or queen) inside them. 

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Remember Who We're Working For
• Be Bold in Faith
• We Are Working With Kings
