Today I'm joined by Aaron Boggs and we're talking about our Sunday School practices. In our Sunday school, we have practice every week. While every Sunday school is different and some cannot have practice due to various logistics, we want to provide a few tips on what we do every week.  There is always the balance of getting it quote, “perfect” and operating under the limited time availa...

Today, I'm joined by Bro. Brent Wilson, and we're talking about showing up to lead. In church leadership, there’s a silent killer that often goes unnoticed: self-consciousness. A lot of people who could be awesome leaders get stuck because they're always worried about messing up.  But here's the kicker: people aren’t sitting there hoping you'll fail. People actually want y...

Today I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we're talking about growing yourself so you can grow others. You can’t give what you don’t have. In the world of Sunday school and church leadership, it's easy to fall into the trap of constant giving - giving time, energy, and resources to those in your class, your team, and your church.  However, effective leaders understand a fundamental truth: y...

Today I'm joined by Aneisha & Shaylee and we're discussing the concept of customer service in your Sunday school.

Today I'm joined by Matthew and we're talking about putting frameworks in place to reach your goals. Our ultimate goal as Sunday school leaders is to see kids saved and for them to grow spiritually. Sometimes we can get inspired and want to put a number goal on how many kids will receive the Holy Ghost this year, or how many kids will repent or be baptized.  While having these goals is f...

Our position may seem humble, but it carries immense responsibility and potential.

Today I'm joined by Auryela and Nicole and we're talking about having a servant culture in kids ministry. Not everyone becomes a preacher or preaches on the world stage. Not every girl becomes a preacher’s wife or gets to sing at the biggest conferences, but everyone has their place in the kingdom of God.  I think lofty goals and dreams of grandeur are great and I don’t ever want to supp...

Today I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we're talking about developing talent in kids ministry. Developing staff and kids both. Kids ministry is a place where talent is born.

But Sunday school is also where our staff is abl...

Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron, and we're discussing ways to implement cliffhangers in your Sunday school. When I was growing up, I read a lot of the Hardy Boys series. I remember that many times a chapter would end in suspense, it left you wondering what would happen to them. That made you want to turn the page and keep reading.  In Sunday school we want kids to have such a good time th...

Coming up! I'm joined by Bro. Aaron and we're talking about using cliffhangers in Sunday school.

Today I'm joined by Steve Arter and we're talking about split personality in Sunday School. There’s a term used often in the church-world; we wear many hats. In some cursory research, this phrase comesfrom the mid-1900’s when professions were quite identifiable by their hats.  I know that our church is not uniquein the fact that many of us in Sunday school ministry wear many different ha...

Coming up! I'm joined by Steve and we're talking about split personality.

Today I'm joined by Bro. Joseph & Sis. Angel Ladd from The Rock Church in Elk Grove, California. The Ladds came and helped out at our Children's Church during our annual Northwest Youth Conference. What an incredible couple. They dived in and helped with the set and jumped in full swing to Children's Church. I'm not sure if they got any sleep while they were here, but they...
