Podcast #115 | July 10, 2025 | Trystan & Phillip - Perception Isn't Always Reality

Join Phillip and Trystan as they look back on a classic summer Sunday full of funny, good, and everything-in-between moments. You’ll hear about a superhero identity crisis (thanks, kid in the back), a catastrophic shortage of Sunday School dollars and a victory moments as well.
This week’s fishing story is about needing more “galley workers” who jump in where it counts.
You’ll also hear a dad joke, about an object lesson, a reality check on perception versus what’s real, an incredible testimony that replaced our usual notebook thought and more!
Oh, and we’re launching the Apostolic Kids YouTube channel! Weekly videos, fun content, and Apostolic truth—dropping every Saturday at 8:00 a.m. PST. Don’t miss it!

Podcast #111 | June 12, 2025 | Trystan and Phillip - Stretch, Not Settle

We’re not experts, but we are passionate about kids' ministry. In this episode, we chat about Junior Camp, preview an exciting new Apostolic Kids resource, and share one of the most chaotic bloopers in Superclass history (spoiler: it involves a tornado siren and a full classroom panic).
We also celebrate some incredible wins, including a no-cry toddler class miracle, and share a fishin’ story that just might help you stop overthinking and start doing.
From magnetic object lessons and deep thoughts on God’s plan before creation, to a challenge for every children’s worker: don’t settle—stretch.
Also… don’t let Riley near the soundboard.

Podcast #110 | June 5, 2025 | Handmade Moments, Not Mass-Produced Ministry

In this episode of Apostolic Children’s Ministry, Phillip is joined by Bro. Bob Lee. From blooper-filled classroom moments and object lessons to altar calls and personal ministry insights, this episode has a lot going on. You’ll hear why preparation makes all the difference, how a teabag can preach Acts 2:38, and what happens when you try to sip from two cups at once.
The episode wraps with a thought-provoking deep dive on the danger of mass-producing ministry. Whether you’re new to Sunday School or a seasoned teacher, this is your reminder to keep your lessons fresh, your heart full, and your calling personal. Handmade moments still matter.

Podcast #107 | May 15, 2025 | Conference Recap, Chaos, and a Pie to the Face

We just wrapped up the 2025 Children’s Ministry Conference at Inland Lighthouse—and it was unforgettable. In this special episode, we sit down with Zach and Jessica Leal from Neosho, Missouri, right in the aftermath of a weekend packed with powerful altar calls, hilarious mishaps, and Holy Ghost outpourings.
From award giveaways gone wrong to Brother Zach’s infamous pie-to-the-face math challenge that makes little girls cry—we’re talking bloopers, breakthroughs, and everything in between.
We also share one of the biggest victories of the year: a children’s service pulled together in under an hour that resulted in seven kids receiving the Holy Ghost!
For feedback, bloopers, ideas, or victory reports, email us at info@apostolicsundayschool.com. And check out other Apostolic podcasts in the Apostolic Podcast Network at apostolicsundayschool.com/APN.
We’re not experts—we’re just passionate. Let’s keep reaching kids with the truth.

Podcast #106 | May 7, 2025 | Find a Better Room

Trystan is back and this week we’ve got messed-up object lessons, superhero toddlers, a scripture-quoting mouse (don’t ask), and a reminder that if you’re always the smartest one in the room… it might be time to find a better room. Children’s ministry’s is awesome and wild but worth every second.  Give it a listen. Or don’t. But I think you’ll be glad you did.
