Engaging Parents in Student Ministries
Church programs are important, but the greatest youth ministry takes place at home.
Reaching Kids with Special Needs
The solution is to understand that training is just 20% of the equation.
Ministering to Specialized Needs
We are ready, we are willing, and we are loving those who have specialized needs.
Simple. Easy. Wins.
These three words may hold the key to getting parents engaged with your children's or student ministry.
Getting Parents Involved
When engaging parents are we attributing the same level of creativity that we put into our retreats, VBS', and weekly services?
Keeping Marriage Fresh
One of the things our pastor talks about is how intimacy is built with unhurried time and unhurried conversation together.
Marriage in the Midst of Ministry
There were episodes when we invested so much into ministry and our children that we'd look at each other at night and say, "Wait, you look vaguely familiar to me."
More than Good Behavior
We want our kids to have a thriving, authentic relationship with Jesus. Not just outward behavior that is compliant when we're around.
The Allure of Good Behavior
I'm not saying that good behavior is bad. I'm just saying the allure of it is so intense, that we sometimes substitute good behavior for authentic faith.
Ways our Family Grows Spiritually
Today, I'm going to talk about being a healthy spiritual family. Not a perfect family, but a family who learns every day to be a little more like Jesus.
