Episode Notes
- Prompted from an honest conversation with God and with leadership
- “My hands are open”
- Old Testament examples:
- Samuel, at the age of 8 years old, heard the audible voice of God
- Josiah made king at the age of 8
- There is no Jr. Holy Spirit
- Passions were congruent for both areas of ministry, but
- Sometimes people equate our calling with our passion
- Only God can define your calling
- It's less about an age group or a position and more about helping light people on fire for Jesus
- Focus on the eternal scope of your calling
- The Word of God
- Know how to respond – “The Application for the Revelation”
- Kingdom Builders (missional-minded)
The NEW Kid's Pastor
- Youth Pastor – don't dismiss your influence on kid's ministry or say “It's not for me”
- Churches are looking for people in kid's ministry who are:
- Dynamic communicators (for all generations)
- Organizational juggernauts
Action Items
- Get kids involved in the content (live or recorded)
- Build cross-functional teams with volunteers
- Consider your on-ramps and off-ramps for all events
