Apostolic Children’s Ministry Podcasts 2.0

Podcast #141 | January 15, 2026 | Don’t Be Like Mike”y”

We cover a lot today! There’s a quick children’s book chat, some thoughts on simple illustrations that connect with kids, and a few honest reactions from real-life testing (which always matters more than reviews).
We talk about what’s currently happening and what’s coming next, including new curriculum releases, upcoming projects, Apostolic Kids milestones, a training night, and kicking off a new bus route. It’s very much a “here’s what life looks like right now” kind of episode.
Of course, there’s humor mixed in, including a classic dad joke that goes completely off the rails, plus a Victory Segment, bloopers, and a couple of recurring bits that keep things light.
The main conversation zooms out and looks at children’s ministry from a big-picture perspective. Not getting lost in activity, noise, or busyness, but remembering why we’re doing any of it in the first place. It’s less about specifics and more about direction, focus, and staying intentional while still having fun.
If you like episodes that feel like a real conversation, bounce between serious and silly, and reflect what ministry actually feels like week to week, this one’s for you.

Podcast #137 | December 18, 2025 | Planting, Watering, Trusting

An even more HUGE thank you to Bro Dylan Mallet from Carmi, IL for helping to edit the audio AND video version of the podcast!
Today we dive into one of the most common and quiet struggles in ministry, frustration. The kind that shows up when you are faithful, prepared, prayerful, and consistent… yet still not seeing the results you hoped for.
Along the way, we explore the power of spiritual hunger, how comfort and routine can dull our appetite for God, and why extraordinary spiritual moments almost always happen through hungry people. We share real stories, practical insights, object lesson ideas, victories, bloopers, and a few laughs to keep things real and encouraging.
If you’ve ever questioned whether what you’re doing matters, this episode is for you. Keep showing up. Keep loving kids. Keep teaching truth. God is working—even when you can’t see it yet.
