KidMin Backstage

Today I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we're talking about growing while doing.

Growth doesn’t happen in a straight line. It happens while you’re moving, while you’re making decisions, trying things, and occasionally getting it wrong. Growth in Motion is about embracing imperfection, expecting speed bumps, and learning so well from mistakes that nothing is ever truly wasted. 

Some of what we try to cover:

• Embrace Imperfection
• Expect Speed Bumps
• Don't Waste Mistakes

Today I'm joined by Bro. Myles and we're talking about the importance of executing on ideas.

Les Brown said, “You get three or four thoughts a year that, if acted upon, could change your life.”

In children’s ministry and church leadership, those thoughts often look like a new program, a systems improvement, a volunteer strategy, or a better way to reach families. The difference between a good idea and lasting impact isn’t just passion; it’s leadership readiness. You must buildthe capacity to execute when the right idea shows up. 

Some of what we try to cover:

• Strategic leaders position themselves for the right ideas
• Capacity determines whether an idea can scale
• Execution is the difference between insight and influence

Today I'm joined for the first time by Krista & Skylinn, and we're talking about having a passion for Sunday school.

Ministry has never been about simply filling a slot on a schedule; it’s about the heart you bring into the room. That’s especially true in children’s ministry. Kids don’t just hear what we say, they feel who we are. You can show up, follow the plan, and check every box on the list, but if there’s no passion behind it, it won’t take long for that to show. Loving what you do isn’t a luxury in ministry; it’s essential. Because when passion is missing, the ministry might continue, but the impact won’t. 

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Passion is the price of admission
• Checking boxes vs. carrying the vision
• Passion always shows, one way or another
