In this episode, I talk with Dan Doerksen about team structure and aligning your Next Gen and family ministry teams. Dan talks about the different approaches leaders take to their teams, and what has happened on his team since he started taking a structural approach. We also have a conversation about how most church ministries and teams are built on age groups, and he walks through how he has re-structured based on function and gift sets.

In this episode, I talk with my friend, Michelle Suarez, about two bold risks her church has taken to engage kids who aren't a part of any church. First, she walks us through the theme-days or special Sundays they do and how these are great invites for kids. Second, she talks about the sports camps they run during the summer, and how they leverage these as invites back to church or to VBS.
