The Serve Crew

Kyle sits down with Brian Blish, who is a part of the Kids Ministry at Centerpointe. They discuss how Brian got started in kids ministry and how his style of teaching involving hats, costumes, and immersing himself in the Bible stories creates memorable moments for children, allowing them to engage with the Bible stories long after the service is over.

Brian also shares some of his favorite moments, how kids' ministry is an outlet to have fun, and reminds us that those engaging with the kids today are helping teach the church of tomorrow.

Kyle sits down with Hank Hayes from Centerpointe’s Ministry team to talk about the idea that everyone can serve. God has given each of us talents, gifts, and abilities, and serving isn’t meant to be limited to Sunday or Wednesday. It’s something we should live out every day in our church, homes, and communities.

They discuss why serving can sometimes feel optional, the mindsets that often keep people from getting involved, and how serving connects to spiritual growth and health. Hank also shares examples of serving throughout the Bible and reflects on his own journey of serving from 12 years old to where he is today.

And of course, the episode wraps up with the usual round of fun closing questions.

Kyle sits down with Terry Freeman to talk about Next Steps, a 10-week course for those who have completed First Steps and want to better understand what we believe, why we believe it, and how it all connects to our walk with Jesus. Whether you’re new to Apostolic teaching or you’ve grown up in it, Next Steps is about growing your faith and relationship with God.

Terry explains that Next Steps isn’t just about learning doctrine—it’s about opening the Bible for yourself, searching the Scriptures, and understanding what the Word says and why it says it. They also talk about why this kind of foundation matters, especially when it comes to serving. It’s hard to serve well, inside or outside the church, if we don’t understand who we are and why we do what we do.

Along the way, Terry shares how Next Steps has impacted him personally, the life change he’s seen in others, and how anyone can get involved as a participant or a teacher. The episode wraps up with a few fun close-out questions to round out the conversation.
