Not Your Typical Church Podcast

Why Kids Ministry Isn't Daycare


Listen Later

Join us for part two of our insightful conversation with Children’s Pastor Donna as we dive deep into the heart of kids’ ministry, parenting, and partnering with your church. Discover why children’s ministry is so much more than babysitting—it's about helping kids encounter Jesus in meaningful and fun ways! Pastor Donna shares practical wisdom on balancing fun with faith, keeping Jesus at the center, and the importance of age-appropriate environments.


Whether you're a parent seeking tips to reinforce faith at home, curious about how Sunday curriculum works, or want ideas for making spiritual milestones fun, this episode delivers real talk, encouragement, and a few laughs along the way. You’ll get advice on using technology like the Parent Cue app, creating Godly friendships, and even hear why rewards—and sometimes a little “bribe”—can make all the difference for engagement.


Don't forget: What happens at home matters just as much as what happens at church! If you find this episode helpful, please leave a review, share with a friend, and subscribe for more real conversations about faith, family, and raising up the next generation.
