KidMin BackstageDiscipleshipToday I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we're talking about discipleship.As Sunday school leaders we have two primary missions: Evangelism and Discipleship. These go hand in hand as we read in Matthew 28:19. We have bus or van ministries, we go door-knocking, we create kids’ events, we have VBS, and we try to evangelize and reach out to kids who don’t go to church. So, the next step is to teach these kids about Jesus and how to live for him.And if you’ve been in kids ministry for any length of time you hav...

Myles.We’ve all heard the saying, “jack of all trades, master of none”, and it kind of puts a negative light on those that can do a lot, but maybe are not super good at any one thing. And there’s the quote, master. The one who does one thing, but they’re the best. They’re the ones you hire if you want the highest quality. I think we tend to place a high value on these “specialists” and rightly so, but specialists are not the right fit for every situation.

As an audience, it’s easy to want to push them to, “Go, go, go!” But it looks a lot different from inside the ring. When you’re inside the ring, you’re acutely aware of the danger, of the fact that one misstep could cause severe pain. But the winners are the ones who have prepared before they ever stepped foot in the ring. They’ve pushed their selves to the limit repeate...

Brennen and we talk about going the extra mile.In Matthew 5:41 Jesus talks about how if someone asks you to walk a mile you should go two. Scholars say that there was a Roman law where any Roman soldier could order a Jewish civilian along the road to carry his baggage, often containing armor and weapons, for one Roman mile, which would be just under one of our miles. Whomever the Roman soldier recruited would then have to carry a load that could easily be 80 to 100 pounds for a whole mi...

He fought Goliath when he had no position or authority to do so. But David was destined to be a king.As Sunday school leaders we need to u...

Maybe you decided to speak up for once and someone gives you that look; the look that says, “Who do you think you are?” Here in our church, I have been a pioneer in many endeavors; some a success and some failures. I am very familiar with this phenomenon known as the “Imposter Syndrome”. It may be defined in various ways, but in essence what we’re talking about is whe...

One argument is that if it’s working, why try to change it? Another dynamic that can happen in a group is when someone presents an alternate point of view, we can become defensive of quote, “our way” and reject outside opinion. We’re blessed to have a large, rotating staff. And while I have been guilty of quickly rejecting ideas, I do think there’s value in he...

I think that there has always been that element, but with social media etc. we “see” it so much easier. Years ago, I heard an interview with Ann Rule, the renown True-Crime author. She was asked if the murder rate was getting worse and worse and she said, “No.” and actually cited the Bible. She said that when Cain murdered Abel there was a 25% murder rate worldwide. So, the temptation of quick f...

John, the kings of ad-lib!So today we shouldn’t even have an outline since we’re doing the topic of ad-lib. We have a script every Sunday, except for on rare occasions when we don’t. But our scripts are more like detailed outlines with bullet points. We hardly ever script our dialogue, and we don’t have verbatim scripts at all. We loosely use a method of “what worked, what didn’t work”. This is where we go over our script in practice completely in an ad-lib style and disc...

Some people come to play a game and they’re not fully invested; they half-heartedly go through the motions. Then there’s the ones that show up and they have their special gym shoes, they’re stretching and warming up before the game. And when the game start, they’re all in-you can see it in their face. In the workplace, everyone has a personal life, but, for the most part, you have to leave it at...

When someone is quote, in charge, of something and they don’t feel responsible for the outcome, it will most likely fail. President Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that stated, “The Buck Stops Here”. This comes from the idea of passing the buck, not admitting that it’s up to me. What a blessing we can be to our Pastor if we take the attitude that the buck stops with me. I’m not going to abdicate responsibility or wait for the Pastor to take care of it. I am going...

Now some people use the word theme, and they are referring to lesson content-we call that a topic. To clarify; theme for us means a type of environment. An army theme for example would have some kind of barracks or headquarters, maybe a forest and army costumes & props. So, along with our themes we typically have a storyline. We’ve talked about story on here before and we will again, but we want to come up with some ideas for a new...
