Podcast #118 | July 31, 2025 | Bob & Phillip - Take the Work Seriously But Not Yourself

In this episode of the Apostolic Children’s Ministry Podcast, Phillip is joined once again by the one and only Bro. Bob Lee as they dive into the latest adventures, mishaps, victories, and life lessons from the front lines of Sunday School. With Quarter 2 of the ACTS in Action curriculum wrapping up and the Faith Lab theme launching full-speed ahead, there’s plenty to talk about, from transforming sets and behind-the-scenes heroes to fuzz-covered washcloths and unexpected altar call exits.
You’ll hear:
Hilarious bloopers from Rialto, Ventura, and Harrison, AR
Victory moments at the altar with kids encountering God
A sea-sick fishing lesson about keeping your eyes on the Light
A classic object lesson remix: Professor’s Nightmare and how God can use ANYONE—no matter the age
A practical leadership talk: Take the Work Seriously—Not Yourself—how to serve with excellence and joy
Plus: a dad joke, a quick shoutout to the Apostolic Kids YouTube channel, and a spotlight on the Apostolic Podcast Network with Bro. Jason Ashley’s Growing Up with Papaw.
Whether you’re leading a classroom or cleaning up after musical chairs, this episode reminds us to stay passionate, stay grounded, and most of all—stay joyful.

Podcast #116 | July 17, 2025 | Trystan & Phillip - Being Present

This week on the Apostolic Children’s Ministry Podcast, Phillip and Trystan Booker recap a Sunday full of wins, fails, and surprises, from forgotten crafts and awkward balloon games to neat moments in children’s ministry and a more.
You'll hear a fishing analogy about how more success brings more opposition, an object lesson using a 200-foot rope, and a challenge to be present in your ministry, not just busy. 
If you're ever tempted to give up when things go sideways, this episode will remind you: sometimes the blooper is the blessing.

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

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!

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.
