Kids Ministry Circle Podcast

In this episode, I invite my friend Jared Kennedy to join me to talk about his latest Toddler & Preschool curriculum with New Growth Press.
We explore the significance of play in learning, creating a safe and engaging environment for children, and the role of memory in early childhood education. Jared emphasizes the need for encouraging volunteers, casting vision for toddler and preschool ministry, and the importance of parent discipleship.

In today's conversation, I invited my friend, Kris Buckman to help all of us think about safety in a whole new way. We discuss the importance of safety protocols in church environments, particularly focusing on child protection and compliance. They share personal experiences related to church safety, the challenges of accountability, and the necessity of proper training for volunteers.

This is our last episode in this 4-part series all about raising up the next generation of leaders. My hope is that throughout these 4 episodes, we will begin to answer these 3 questions:
-Why is it so hard to find people to work on kids ministry staff?
-How can we raise up the next generation of leaders?
-How can we better disciple Gen Z? 
Today's episode is with Colin Provart. Colin is the Director of Salt Network at Storyline Church in Arvada, CO and is faithfully discipling his Gen Z residents and so many college students who are coming to know Jesus. He is a friend and a leader I admire. You are going to love our conversation!
