SUNDAY'S GOT US TALKING

Special Guest: Rachel Nusbaum • Many churches want to welcome every child and family through their doors, but feel unsure about how to support kids with sensory needs. The good news is that creating an inclusive, sensory-friendly environment does not require a massive budget or a background in special education. It starts with understanding, a simple plan, and a willingness to take the next step.

Special Guest: Kim Botto • Every child who walks through a church door deserves to feel seen, known, and loved. But for many families, especially those with children who have disabilities, trauma histories, or invisible struggles, that experience is far from guaranteed. Here is a look at what it truly means to build a church where every child belongs, and how to get there practically.

Special Guest: Kathy Kovalchuk • Disability ministry is one of the most meaningful and often overlooked areas of church life. This post explores what it really looks like to include, disciple, and celebrate individuals with disabilities in the local church, and why every congregation should be doing it with excellence.

Special Guest: Sandra Peoples • Many churches want to be welcoming to everyone, but when it comes to children with disabilities, good intentions don’t always translate into confident action. This podcast explores practical ways churches can build inclusive disability ministries, equip volunteers, and reach families who desperately need the hope of the gospel.

Special Guests: David Anderson & Natalee Barbier • Families affected by disability sit in our pews, drop kids off in our hallways, and quietly wonder if they truly belong. This podcast explores what it looks like for the church to move beyond a simple welcome and into genuine, lasting community with these families.

Special Guest: Rhonda Craig • Many churches want to serve families affected by disability but don’t know where to start. The good news is that you don’t need a big budget, a specialized team, or a perfectly designed program. You just need a willingness to see people the way God sees them and take one small step forward.

Special Guest: Ken Braddy • Small groups are one of the most powerful tools a church has for keeping people connected, growing in faith, and serving others. Yet many churches are leaving this tool largely unused. Here is a look at what makes groups work, what holds them back, and how leaders at every level can build a stronger group culture.

Special Guest: Esther Moreno - Whether you are brand new to children’s ministry or have been serving for decades, finding and keeping your voice as a leader is one of the most important things you can do. It is easy to lose yourself in comparison, burnout, or the pressure to be someone you are not. Here is what it looks like to lead from a place of identity, purpose, and connection to God.

Special Guest: Taylor Johnson - Ministry is beautiful, but it is also hard. Behind every well-planned event and polished program is a leader who has faced failure, criticism, burnout, and doubt. If you are in ministry and things have gone sideways, you are not alone. Here is an honest look at what happens when ministry gets messy and what you can do about it.

Special Guest: Deleece Nichols - How to Lead Through Change, Transition Well, and Finish Strong in Ministry - Change is one of the most constant realities in ministry. Whether you are brand new to a role, stepping into an established church, navigating a leadership shift, or preparing to retire, how you handle transitions matters deeply. These principles apply to anyone in ministry leadership, paid or volunteer, seasoned or just starting out.
