The Kidmin Huddle

What are you doing to teach your nursery aged children about God? Are you intentional with the time you’ve been given?

These simple, diy curriculum boxes are a great way to easily teach your littles ones truths about the God that loves them. 

Are you battling discouragement or questioning your calling? Maybe you are letting feelings of "not good enough" bring you down. Listen to God, the Good Father, and allow him to bring you up out of that pit. 

He loves you.

He called you.

He created you for a purpose.

Whatever your Easter plans hold this year, don’t just teach God’s story. (Do teach God’s story, starting back with creation and the big problem of sin!) But help kids go from knowing about God to knowing God. 

Listen to the resources I’m using to teach kids about who God is this Easter.

You have been gifted and called to serve in children’s ministry. You might think you know your areas of giftedness, even. But are you putting God in a box, or truly listening and letting him lead you?

Whether you write your own curriculum or tweak lessons you purchase, there are a couple of key things you need to keep in mind. Make the Bible come alive for Christ, engaging them in his story. From learning styles to lesson non-negotiables, if you write your kidmin curriculum, don’t miss this episode. 

Do you give mass altar calls and salvation experiences? Do you meet with kids individually or use abstract theology? Leading a child to Christ is an amazing experience, but there are some do’s and don’ts you need to follow.

God commands parents to pass on their faith. But how? How do you pass on your faith, especially when you feel unqualified and ill-equipped?  It’s not hard, but it must be intentional. The risk is too high not to.

Leaders are learners. But to truly lead well, you have to first become a good listener. Are you listening to the Lord’s leading? God has the best plans for our lives and our ministries, but unless we let him lead, unless we listen, we won’t get to what he has planned for us!
