Take a peek behind the scenes of what it takes to run a kids ministry.
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 the same mistakes.
This is a backstage pass to see the magic-or disaster-that happens behind the scenes of our kids ministry.

Quit Quitting
Today I'm joined by Bro. Matthew Critcher and we're talking about the epidemic of quitting.
In a world where "quiet quitting" has become trendy and commitment seems optional, we face a growing challenge in ministry: the normalization of giving up. This mindset has crept into our churches, affecting everything from volunteer retention to spiritual growth. As leaders, we must champion a counter-cultural message that celebrates perseverance, commitment, and faithful endurance.
Remember, Jesus himself faced the temptation to quit in Gethsemane. His response - "Nevertheless, not my will but yours be done" - provides our model for pushing through difficulty toward divine purpose.
Some of the things we try to cover:
- Recognize the Signs of Quitting Culture
- Reframe Difficulties as Growth Opportunities
- Champion Long-Term Commitment
- The Art of Persistence
