Today I'm joined by Aneisha & Shaylee and we're talking about practicing the "right" way. When you practice, it's important to work out the details and get it right because practice is for developing habits. You want your habits to be on point. If you're lazy in practice, it will show up later in the real thing. This applies to the stage and to life...

Today I'm joined by Bro. Brent and we're talking about the dichotomy between spontaneity and preparation. Preparation is essential for leadership; planning, studying, and practicing sharpen our effectiveness. But over-reliance on preparation can limit our ability to think on our feet. Great Sunday school leaders don’t just prepare for Sunday; they stay agile and responsive when the unexpected arrives. Some of what we try to cover:Preparation builds confidenceSpontaneity elevates l...

Today I'm joined by Bro. Matthew and we're talking about how those small, seemingly insignificant decisions can have a massive impact. Every leader makes thousands of decisions each day—some trivial, some transformative. The difference lies not just in the size of the choice, but in its ripple effect.

Today I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we're talking about the person behind the title. When you step into a room, your title might speak before you do, but it only says so much.

Your reputation opens the door, but your character determines whether people invite you to stay. Some of the things we try to cover: The Law of InfluenceBeyond Positional LeadershipPeople Follow the Person Befor...

Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron and we're talking about fulfilling more that the minimum requirement. True leadership often shows up in the spaces between the bullet points. Titles and task lists can’t capture the quiet consistency, initiative, and influence that make someone indispensable. Doing your job well means doing far more than what’s written in ink; it’s what you bring in spirit. Some of what we try to cover: The Invisible RequirementsCompetence Beyond the ChecklistThe "Right People o...

Today I'm joined by Aneisha & Shaylee and we're taking a peek behind the scenes of a recent Sunday school episode, Step Into Battle!

Today I'm joined by Bro. Myles and we're talking about recognizing the blessings of God. In children’s ministry, it’s easy to always look toward the next event, the next series, or the next big goal. But here’s the truth: many of us are already standing in the middle of what we once prayed for. The kids showing up, the volunteers fully onboard, the families being reached; this is the dream. Our call is to be content yet not satisfied. Basically, be thankful for what God is doing today while s...
