Welcome to another episode, the place where we talk about kids' ministry and take a peek behind the scenes. We try to share a little bit of what we've learned that works for us and some of our failures so you can avoid them. We release a new episode every Friday, and this is your Backstage Pass to see the magic or disaster that happens behind the scenes of our kids' ministry. I'm your host, Gabe Baker, and today I am joined by brother and sister Ladd. How you guys doing?

SPEAKER_02: 0:44

Good,

SPEAKER_01: 0:44

good. Good to be here. Brother Joey Ladd and This is your angel lad from the Rock Church in California for the Miles Young. So I just, we couldn't pass this opportunity up. So you guys are here for, we're doing our conference right now and we do kids church in our conference. This is August and we had children's church last night and

SPEAKER_02: 1:09

it was awesome. It was fun. It was great.

SPEAKER_01: 1:13

We, unfortunately, we kind of got cut a little bit short, so we didn't get through the whole script, but we're going to continue tonight here in just a few hours. And so what was some of the roles you did? You were Jacob. Yeah. Yeah,

SPEAKER_02: 1:28

I got to play as the father, Jacob, the old man. That was fun.

SPEAKER_01: 1:33

So I kind of missed the part. Did you, when they presented the coat, did you like ball and squall and weave or whatever? Or how did you do that?

SPEAKER_02: 1:42

Yeah, I was kind of doing the, oh, I can't handle it. It's too much, you know, kind of character and just walked off. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_01: 1:52

That was fun. And then you did, of course, you were one of the slave traders. We talked about that earlier when we went to lunch. And so you didn't know that you were supposed to be the slave trader, which we were scrambling last night. But then, so you were standing there and somebody told you, right?

SPEAKER_00: 2:11

Well, I knew we were at the part where the slave traders, and then I realized, oh, my name is on there. I don't know what I was supposed to do. I thought someone else was going to do that. So someone said my costume was vacuumed. So I ran back there and there was nothing there. So I'm looking around going, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. And everybody's leaving. So I threw my hat off and pulled my glasses down and grabbed a random wig and it was on sideways. And I was just ran out after everybody for how to figure out where everybody went. It

SPEAKER_01: 2:42

worked though.

SPEAKER_00: 2:42

It did.

SPEAKER_01: 2:43

The thing is, is like, we've talked about it before, but the kids, they don't know. Like when we make a mistake, they think that it's supposed to be like that, you know? When we got something on backwards, they think it's supposed to be like that. So there's a lot of grace.

SPEAKER_00: 3:00

I was trying to find what exactly we were doing. So I was like, oh, choose this kid. Yeah. Man, this one looks really, really cool. Yeah. This one knows how to change diapers. Oh, yeah. I

SPEAKER_01: 3:10

remember you said that.

SPEAKER_00: 3:12

Somebody said, wow. No, your sheep are something about these sheep aren't for sale. And then I said, oh, they're sheep.

SPEAKER_01: 3:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 3:20

Man, those are really talented sheep.

UNKNOWN: 3:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 3:23

yeah we came out we were we were the slave traders because we were getting ready the Bible story was Joseph obviously and so so we were grabbing yeah random kids and like oh what about this one and then of course they brought out Joseph and so we hauled Joseph off but so let's talk about you guys just a little bit I know I know it's your favorite subject so you guys are from the Rock Church and been in Sunday school for a while so let's talk about that a little bit

SPEAKER_02: 3:52

yeah yeah so So, yeah, I was telling Brother Baker here that it's my least favorite subject because every time somebody asked me to talk about myself, for some reason, I forget everything in my past.

SPEAKER_01: 4:05

Yeah, I know that. On the spot. You're on the mic now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 4:08

So, yeah, I was born and raised in Pentecost, 97. I moved to Elk Grove in California, and I've been there ever since. I love my church. I love my pastor. Me and Angel here got married in 09. And you actually met, right, in children's ministry. Is that right? Well, we were friends before that. We actually met more so in a

SPEAKER_00: 4:36

drama

SPEAKER_02: 4:37

club. Yeah. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01: 4:38

A close second then.

SPEAKER_02: 4:40

It was very close. Yeah. And that's kind of what got us both into it. Well, she was doing Sunday school before that too, but that's what got me into Sunday school was being a part of the drama club. And it just kind of goes hand in hand with Sunday school. anyway. And one day I remember very, very distinctly them coming up and say, hey, we need another character. We need you. And that was my first, you know, my door opening into Sunday school.

SPEAKER_00: 5:04

He wanted to impress me. I was a cowgirl. Yeehaw! And he wanted to be my second. So he became Deputy Do-Right.

SPEAKER_01: 5:15

Oh,

SPEAKER_02: 5:15

yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 5:17

That's perfect. I

SPEAKER_02: 5:19

just put on a costume and they said, just get up there and act silly. And I did the part and they said I was good. So I kept going. It was shortly after that it became a burden, which I could tell the story. Whoops, sorry.

SPEAKER_01: 5:35

That must be the drama club.

SPEAKER_02: 5:39

Probably. I could tell the story if we want to go down that route, but.

SPEAKER_01: 5:44

Let's hear it. Let's hear it. We got time.

SPEAKER_02: 5:46

Okay. Yeah. So me and Angel were married shortly after that moment in 09, we got married. And let's see, I remember coming home from work one day and Angel was out doing something Probably for the church. So I had to fend for myself back to the bachelor's days and some

SPEAKER_01: 6:12

cereal or something. Yeah. Yeah. Well, actually

SPEAKER_02: 6:14

I did a special for myself. I went out to eat. We went, I went to wing stop all by my lonesome, you know? And I was sitting at the table, got my wings. and just, just doing my thing, you know, um, probably reading or something, uh, listening to some music or something. And, um, the table next to me, it was a family of four, it's a mom and dad and two kids. And, uh, The boy and girl were probably about seven and nine years old. Okay. And the mom turned to her son of probably about nine and said, hey, go ask for a cup of water cup. And so he went up to the desk and asked the worker for a water cup and went straight to the soda machine and turned to his mom and said, mom, Sprite or Coke? And at that moment, I felt God talk to me and he said, this is the reason I've got you in kids ministry because you had the upbringing of wonderful parents who taught you what's right to do what's right.

SPEAKER_01: 7:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 7:28

And these kids are being taught the opposite.

SPEAKER_01: 7:31

By their own parents. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 7:33

Yeah. By their parents. And then that just, it struck me right then and there. I almost started, well, I did actually, I teared up right there in the middle of when Wow. And ever since then, I've just been driving as much as I could to try to bring the truth to as many kids as I could all over the world. That's kind of where that burden hit me. Wow.

SPEAKER_01: 7:53

Yeah. That's awesome. That is awesome. Yep. Yep. And so, yeah. And so you've been just been in it ever since.

SPEAKER_02: 8:01

Yeah. Yeah. And I've had a few other circumstances that happened that kind of just drove it home even more. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 8:10

Like reaffirming. And then Sister Angel, what about you? I know you've been in it for even longer, I think, right?

SPEAKER_00: 8:20

Yes. So I came from a divorced home and I went back and forth between mom and dad and I remember the summers distinctly. Yeah. Yeah. the youngest Sunday school teacher that we've ever had. We've never even put anybody through training that age. So I was the very first and the very youngest. I wasn't the first one to go through the training, but I was the youngest one to ever go through training. And they threw me into first and second grade. And it was just a really neat experience for me. And then growing up, you made your impact. You've worked in the Sunday school department for four years. And then I wanted to move on to things I wasn't I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do. within children's ministry. Extreme Team, we started Extreme Team and we just, I've been a part of the very beginning of that. And then now my husband and I are running that department. And so it's just to see the kids that started are now missionaries or have families of their own. And I'm like, I feel so old, but yet I'm so young. But it's neat to see that these kids actually becoming part of the ministry and doing things and moving on. And it's like, oh, Oh, like I got to see them.

SPEAKER_01: 10:33

Yeah. And you got to be a part of a little piece at least.

SPEAKER_00: 10:36

Yeah. Right. And they look back, had it not been for this or, and, and it's just, it's a really humbling experience and I love it.

SPEAKER_01: 10:42

That's so cool.

SPEAKER_00: 10:43

There's just something so genuine about kids that I just, they're real. Yeah. I love it.

SPEAKER_01: 10:48

What is, tell me a little bit, I've heard that before and I'm not, I think I might know what it is, but what is the extreme, extreme team? Yes. Extreme team. With an M like Mary? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 11:01

So. we do our logo we use a lot of XT so it's X-T-R-E-M-E team and so it's a group of 10 and 11 and 12 year olds and it's a young leadership training program basically so on their level we teach them what we believe why we believe that Joey teaches a lot of the lessons that and then we just kind of our

SPEAKER_02: 11:26

values our values principles like why we believe in the Bible why we believe in God yeah and then we touch on standards oneness you know the basic the core values of Pentecost and that's

SPEAKER_01: 11:41

really cool and is this are you using any kind of pre-developed curriculum or do you are you developing that

SPEAKER_02: 11:49

no word I've developed it all yeah from what God gives me really and what I've heard in from my bishop and pastor

SPEAKER_01: 11:58

sure

SPEAKER_02: 11:58

yeah kind of bring it down on their

SPEAKER_01: 12:00

level and how long has this been going i think you were talking about that a minute ago that's

SPEAKER_00: 12:04

a good question this has been going for a long time so this is even before um we were married so this has been going on for at least 20 years oh probably close to 20 years um so it's kind of evolved a little bit and then we took over we took over 2017 i think so we teach them these values so usually they check in after service they come in and we have like a sword drill we give them a bible they look up the different scriptures and then we have like this devotional we teach what we were just talking about we have lunch and then they break out so we utilize them in helping with our kids church

SPEAKER_01: 12:44

so we're trying

SPEAKER_00: 12:44

to teach them leadership aspects so we focus on three different leadership aspects within it so we call it our hostess team the cadet team and the frontline team so just a brief thing hostess teaching them to encourage others to welcome them make their atmosphere you're being

UNKNOWN: 13:01

a hostess. You welcome them. They're the first people you see.

SPEAKER_00: 13:04

You're saying goodbye to them. I hope you had a great time. You're feeding them. You're trying to give them entertainment. So we teach them how to be a hostess. They set up all the snack. They serve the snack. They help clean up. They help plan the game that we're supposed to do. They all learn how to balloon twist. So there's a few things. And then the frontline team, they do all of our action songs and our skits. So they're the ones on the stage in front of everybody and they're learning all of that

SPEAKER_01: 13:34

oh that's

SPEAKER_00: 13:35

cool and then the cadet team they are the ones that they go to the back and they plan what we're going to do the decor like a lot of our decor is already set because we keep the same thing but what element can we add can we put a poster does the frontline team need a costume um so they do all the behind the scenes and they are the last ones they're cleaning up so they come they do all the behind the scenes things because in leadership a lot of times it's doing things that nobody sees Yeah. And that's part of leadership. And that's kind of the hardest part is you have to do the behind the scenes in order for Frontline to get the accolades.

SPEAKER_01: 14:09

Right.

SPEAKER_00: 14:09

So then you do the behind the scenes. And what's that team

SPEAKER_01: 14:12

called again? Sorry.

SPEAKER_00: 14:13

Extreme team. No,

SPEAKER_01: 14:14

I mean the third

SPEAKER_00: 14:15

group. Oh, sorry. It's the cadet team. Cadet. So they're helping just to make sure the tables, if we're transitioning into an object lesson, they're bringing up the tables. They're the ones jumping in, doing those things behind the scenes, making sure that the preacher likes. They're the backstage

SPEAKER_02: 14:31

crew. And ushers and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01: 14:34

Yeah. So, okay. So we're going to have to go, we're going to have to go to Elk Grove and do this podcast again with some of them because backstage, you know, this is getting backstage. So

SPEAKER_00: 14:45

it's fun. They get to rotate. So every month they get, we separate them into three teams and those teams rotate. So by the time they're done with our season, they've already rotated through them twice. Oh, okay. You

SPEAKER_01: 14:58

mean rotate like frontline now does cadet? Yeah, so

SPEAKER_00: 15:04

we get a lot of the shy ones that don't want to be in front of people. We're kind of giving them an opportunity to do that. And those that want to be up in front of people, we're teaching them that, hey, sometimes you don't always get to be up in front of people. You got to do the behind the scenes.

SPEAKER_01: 15:17

That is really cool. And what age is this again? 10, 11, and 12. 10, 11, and 12. And then you do this on Sunday after church? You said after service.

SPEAKER_00: 15:28

Yeah, so the last Sunday of the month is typically our extreme team So we meet after Sunday school. We meet, we keep them between service, feed them, practice, prep. And then the following Saturday is when we do outreach. We take them on outreach, teach them how to knock on the door. And then they come set up, we practice. And then Sunday, Super Kids Church. And that's usually the first Sunday of every month.

SPEAKER_02: 15:55

Okay. Oh, yeah. That's

SPEAKER_01: 16:58

so

SPEAKER_02: 17:07

cool. Oh, okay. Yeah, I understand. Okay, so that's happening right now.

SPEAKER_01: 17:55

Like during setup and then after lunch, you're doing the breakouts and that's the groups, the cadet, the hostess and

SPEAKER_02: 18:02

frontline. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 18:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_02: 18:04

And they'll be learning different things at different times with different staff.

SPEAKER_01: 18:07

And that's more like a hands-on training and slash planning for

SPEAKER_00: 18:12

Sunday. Yeah. It's a hands-on experience. Oh, that's so cool. Basically just in child development, those 10, 11 to 12 year old years, it's, they're learning, they're making new friends. They're trying to figure out, like they've always had the same friend. Because mom and dad are friends. And so now they're branching out and learning on new friends. What did they believe? Why did they believe? Why do we go to church? And we want them to embrace the fact that God is not just God or their parents' religion. It's theirs and they can be. And so it's giving them the opportunity to experience that, what happens, respect what's happening, but also to get an idea of like saying, hey, God is real and he's my God.

SPEAKER_01: 18:54

Yeah. Yeah, they feel like they're part of it. Yeah. You know, it's funny. I was talking to my pastor just the other day, and it was like, I have this thing, you know, and I'm a youth leader too. And so I talk with our youth sometimes, or I'll be just with one of them. And when they say, are you guys going to, you know, stripe the parking lot? Or are you guys going to, I'm like, do you mean we? And my premise is not like that they are necessarily going to be out there physically, but it's your church. So it's we. But what's so funny is I just had that conversation with my pastor the other day. And so I was up here in Sunday school, I was working on something and my seven-year-old was with me. And he asked me, I wish I could remember what it was specifically, but it was nothing to do with Sunday school. It was totally a church thing. And it was something he would never be doing. Just, for example, striping the parking lot. He's like, are we going to stripe the parking lot or whatever it was? And I thought it was so cool that he had the we in there. Yeah, yeah. Even in his seven-year-old mind, he's like, this is my church. This is what we are doing. Yeah, that's so awesome. That is cool. So I could see how that extreme team that... Gives that ownership too, you know, and like.

SPEAKER_00: 20:20

Yeah, we're working on doing like a leadership, like point system too. So like if they go and they help with church clean, they get points. If they go and they help in the coffee shop, they'll have to get it signed off. They get leadership points. If they go and help. In the different

SPEAKER_02: 20:34

Sunday school sessions,

SPEAKER_00: 20:36

we actually

SPEAKER_02: 20:37

want to have them travel from like the nursery, maybe one or two and help at the nursery and get a taste of what it is to take care of the little ones and sing them the little songs. And then up to the first and second and then the preschool. Oh, that's good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 20:52

And then the points is, do you have some kind of like a merit store or something like that? How

SPEAKER_00: 20:57

are those points used? It's kind of like, I don't want to.

SPEAKER_01: 21:00

Well, that's still a

SPEAKER_02: 21:00

work in progress.

SPEAKER_00: 21:02

So the thought and the idea is, because they all get vests, is that we want to do something maybe not structured exactly like the Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts type of thing, but they have badges and pins and things like that that they can earn. Um, and like the leadership assembly at our church, they get a pin. So like when people were to come in, they can say, oh, you're part of the leadership type of thing. So we give them a leadership pin that is for extreme team. So if you've reached this, like I'm a leader in extreme team, it makes them feel like, you know, I'm not just a young person. I'm a leader in this church on their own level, obviously.

SPEAKER_01: 21:40

Right. Right. That's cool. And how old does your, does the, like you have separate classrooms by grade is what I understand, right? As far as typical Sunday. For our Sunday school? Yeah. And so how old does that go? It goes through 12th grade.

SPEAKER_02: 21:57

We have a teen class. We also have a teen class. You know what the ages

SPEAKER_00: 22:02

are? So the Sunday school typically goes to like 5th and 6th, which is right at that 11 and 12 year old age. And then we've just started a teen class. So they'll jump in and so it does go beyond a It's like 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th.

SPEAKER_01: 22:20

So in Super Kids Church, is it all grades are in there? Yes. In one room?

SPEAKER_00: 22:25

So we have kinder through 6th grade.

SPEAKER_01: 22:27

And so you have the 10, 11, 12 extreme team doing a lot of the things for that Super Kids Church. What about like your older, your 11th and 12th graders?

SPEAKER_00: 22:39

They go into their teen class. Oh, so

SPEAKER_01: 22:42

they're not part of the Super Kids Church. No. That just encompasses the Sunday school

SPEAKER_00: 22:46

class. Sunday school, yes. So once they're 16, they can actually sign up to be in a Sunday school class and then they can help out one Sunday school class a month. Cause it's just a ton of fun. Um, but some of them will actually, they'll serve their one week a month in a particular Sunday school class of choice.

SPEAKER_01: 23:26

Okay. Got it. Okay. And so you're doing the super kids, uh, church or class, however you say it. Um, you're doing that roughly 12 times a year then.

SPEAKER_02: 23:39

Yes.

SPEAKER_01: 23:39

Yeah. Okay. Okay. Oh, wow. Maybe a

SPEAKER_02: 23:42

little less cause holidays.

SPEAKER_01: 23:43

Yeah. A lot of holidays. And then that's where you kind of set up. Like the decor and everything for that, right? Yeah. Where you're setting up the whole room. That

SPEAKER_02: 23:54

usually happens on the Saturday night right before practice. Right before, okay. Yeah. It goes up and then Sunday, as soon as we're done, we're taking it down during game after altar call.

SPEAKER_01: 24:06

I remember those days. Oh, man. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So we have a different structure, obviously, but we have always done like um, or I mean, not always done, but when we started, that was how we had to do is we set up every Saturday night, take down every Sunday morning, right? Every Sunday school. But it was, we do kind of in a smaller scale, we're kind of doing a super kids church idea every week, you know, kind of, I mean, it's smaller, but we're doing the drama and all that kind of stuff. So like what we did last night up here and during conference, It's obviously shorter. It's about an hour on Sundays. And last night, I don't know, what was that? Probably, that was at least two hours.

SPEAKER_00: 24:59

Three hours. Was it three? Yeah, something like that. It was 10.19 when the last kid

SPEAKER_01: 25:03

left. Okay, yeah, so about almost three hours. So... So, but that's basically what we do for Sunday school. I mean, obviously we don't do a whole, uh, the food thing. We have a snack, but we, we basically kind of do that, the drama and the theme. We usually have a theme. And so there's skits for that. And then we have drama. And then the other thing that's maybe somewhat unique is we, all of our segments offering members, everything typically is costumed characters. And sometimes they're a known character. They're a character that's part of the theme and they're coming out and helping with that segment, you know. I

SPEAKER_00: 25:40

loved the memory verse last night. That was so fun. Oh, that was

SPEAKER_01: 25:42

so awesome. I didn't get to see because I was downstairs setting up the tables for the ministers.

SPEAKER_00: 25:48

That was so fun. I don't know. I asked someone if they, if you guys do this regularly, they said, oh yeah, the glasses. One of the kids saw the glasses and said, oh, those are memory verse glasses. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. So cool. They like identified that.

SPEAKER_01: 26:02

Yeah, we got, yeah, we have certain costumes that my daughter does. And so, certain certain costumes are like for that segment and then often now for conferences a little bit different but often the music will also cue them so they'll hear a certain during a theme we'll have you know repeat offering will always be the same or memory will always be the same and so they'll be like oh memory verse you know because they hear the music and

SPEAKER_00: 26:30

so kids love repetition oh man

SPEAKER_02: 26:32

they

SPEAKER_00: 26:32

do they love that

SPEAKER_02: 26:34

your rule thing was awesome too I did those rules those kids knew exactly what you were doing they started saying hey it's backwards before you even really got to start so awesome

SPEAKER_01: 26:46

yeah so I think we might do something similar tonight with holding them upside down and mix them up but I might get some more people to help me and just kind of mess it all up you know and

SPEAKER_02: 26:57

I couldn't imagine how you can get to help you

SPEAKER_01: 26:59

yeah I don't know I'll try to think of some people yeah so you guys showed up on what was night and I don't know what you were expecting but the plan was kind of that you guys were going to show up and we were going to do a little run through and then we were going to go out to eat yeah well you guys got here and just I took a picture and sent it to a group chat because you guys just jumped right in you saw how much we had left to do and said okay let's get to work

SPEAKER_02: 27:29

well we we got to hear about how how epic it was around here with the decor and it was just perfect to being able to be a part of that

SPEAKER_01: 27:37

that It's so cool. Yeah, that was awesome. You guys jumped right in.

SPEAKER_00: 27:41

I saw some of the pictures you had posted and I said, I don't think we're going to practice. I think we're going to build. This is going to

SPEAKER_02: 27:50

be

SPEAKER_01: 27:51

great. It was practice for decor. We're getting a taste of all of it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that was the cadet teamwork right there.

SPEAKER_00: 28:01

Yeah, exactly. It was great though being on a different scene, a different perspective because we're usually the ones the vision and working with the team and drawing pictures and telling them what we want and then some of our team members are you know working on a different place but to come in and you're like here here's what i just want this stuff on the wall i don't even have a plan just i planned this goes on this wall and then trying to get in your brain and figure that out and make it kind of flow it was it's a lot of fun yeah

SPEAKER_01: 28:34

and it turned out great oh man fantastic and And I don't think we had any injuries on the big slide.

SPEAKER_00: 28:41

No.

SPEAKER_01: 28:42

So tonight we, we could try to get some. We had, we had one brother come up and he had his baby and we were still, still kind of working on it. And he was like, are these operational? The slides, you know, cause we had kind of a mess up here still. This was yesterday. And I was like, I said, oh yeah. And then I saw what he was thinking. I was like, but hold on. on I said there's a pad on that wall for a reason yeah I said you you need to test it before you go down with your baby because I thought that slides pretty fast so yeah don't just jump on that thing

SPEAKER_02: 29:22

yeah I had to see at least at least 13 of those kids land right on the ramp at the bottom and they got up just smiling away having a great time

SPEAKER_01: 29:31

yeah might get up kind of rubbing their rear end a little bit but they're ready to go again. All right. Well, we are about out of time. So I, I'm glad that we talked about the extreme team. That was kind of neat. That's, that's something I might try to implement some of that. That's really cool.

SPEAKER_02: 29:52

It's a lot of fun seeing those kids. Cause they, I mean, it's, it's inevitable, inevitable, no matter where you go that age, they can start slipping away. Yeah. Cause they just feel like, you know, it's time for them to move on and being able to get them engaged. That, They're fired right back up. They're

SPEAKER_01: 30:09

on fire. And I have many, in fact, just, I don't know, I think it was Sunday night this past week, in fact, that I had a couple of girls ask if they could be in Sunday school, like staff, you know, and they're like 12 and 13. Yeah. Yeah. And so I'm like, well, I said, let me put your name on the list. I have a big list. I said, we're going to be doing a training program. And so it's, I'm like, you know, they're too young to do like what I can consider staff yeah but something like that you know yeah you

SPEAKER_02: 30:42

got to give them those small things right like that would be really a neat way to do it but those small things are so big yeah to them so big like just holding the the plate for the offering

SPEAKER_01: 30:53

yeah

SPEAKER_02: 30:54

or flipping a light at the right time it's just so big or we'll have this is one of my favorites personally we have right before agreements and rules just like you we have a welcome and it's just a written out Same thing. And we just change like one or two lines inside of it. And we'll have one of the extreme teams started off with a really excited. Welcome to Super Kids Church where we have fun learning about Jesus. Today we'll be learning about and then fill in the blank. And then don't touch anything or it may, you know, fly away and hit you in the nose or something. And so they

SPEAKER_01: 31:27

get to

SPEAKER_02: 31:27

do that. They do this at 10, 11 and 12 year olds. And they're all on just jumping at the bits to be the one to be able to announce the very beginning of Super Kids. I like that. That's really cool.

SPEAKER_00: 32:07

Like you may be young, but David, he was young. I mean, there's, you can still be an example and you don't let people look down on you because of how old you are or what you can do. Like you have the opportunity, like you have the abilities, like use, utilize that. We have a family right now in, um, in Mexico and they're like, it's okay. We, we can do this. We can do kids church. We've done extreme team. And so they're just, they're charged up and like, they're trying to lead action songs and do things. And

SPEAKER_01: 32:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 32:38

They're excited. I mean, it's just, it's really neat to see that you don't, you don't know you're making an impact or not. They're just, you know, running around and screaming and you're like wrangling cats, but then it's like when it actually comes down to it, they love it and they are, they're learning something and they're able to take what they're learning and apply it wherever they go. If it's a home missions church or, you know, they left or it's just, it's neat to see. Yeah. That's

SPEAKER_01: 33:02

super cool. Wow.

SPEAKER_00: 33:04
