Kicking off the 2026 Effective Ministry podcast, Al James and Annemarie Rivers discuss how ecclesiology (the theology of the church) shapes youth and children's ministry, asking whether youth group, kids' church, and afterschool clubs are “church.” Drawing on Chase Kuhn's work (including discussion of Donald Robinson, Broughton Knox, Kevin Giles, and Graham Cole), they explore church as the gathering (ecclesia) created by God's word, centered on hearing and responding in faith, and focused on building up God's people. They consider the gathered and scattered nature of church, the distinction between earthly intermittent gatherings and the constant singular heavenly church, and why the heavenly church's oneness implies diversity. They discuss Robinson's claim that the church's primary task is not evangelistic, how evangelism still occurs in and from the gathering, and Kuhn's conclusions that age-specific ministries are valid but not ideal expressions of church, requiring integration and intergenerational discipleship.Connect with YouthworksClick through to discover more about the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youthworks Ministry Support Team ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and how Youthworks can help you have an effective youth and children's ministry in your local church, or check out our Facebook Page.You can connect with the broader Youthworks family by clicking here.You can partner in the ministry of Youthworks by donating here.We would love to hear from you!

Ministry is often treated as a title, but it is meant to be an act of service. Continuing the theme of devotion, this episode features Josh Rowand, a man with extensive experience in ministry. Once serving for himself while hiding a life of sin, he now knows that ministry involves much more than image and being busy – it's about helping others in humility, sincerity, and a faith that is actively lived out rather than merely spoken.  

Main point:  2 Corinthians 3:1-6 gives three answers to the question, “How does God measure effective ministry?” 

Morning Worship Sermon with Rev. Larry Neiderhizer  Scripture reference Luke 9:10-17 Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand 10 When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida, 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing. 12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.” 13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.” They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.) But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

The Secret To Effective Ministry | Rev. Chris Wilson A. by Calvary International Christian Centre

The apostle Paul provides a powerful blueprint for effective ministry through seven foundational principles found in Romans 15. Rather than relying on charisma, large budgets, or polished programs, Paul's approach was grounded in something far more substantial and lasting. Paul begins with grace as his foundation, acknowledging that everything he accomplished was based on God's unmerited favor rather than his own qualifications. He anchored his message firmly in God's Word, understanding that human wisdom and clever communication pale in comparison to the transformative power of Scripture. His motivation centered on God's glory rather than personal recognition, using ministry as a spotlight to point people to Jesus rather than building his own reputation. The Holy Spirit served as his power source, recognizing that without divine empowerment, ministry becomes mere human effort producing motion without true momentum. Paul's strategy involved pioneer vision, strategically targeting unreached areas and urban centers that would multiply the gospel's impact. He demonstrated servant generosity by taking time to serve suffering believers, showing that effective ministry balances expansion with compassion. Finally, he understood the critical importance of corporate prayer, asking others to join him in spiritual warfare through intercession. These principles reveal that the greatest ministries aren't built by the most gifted people, but by those who are surrendered and dependent on God.

Sermon from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church

"Don't fall more in love with the call then with Jesus, the caller." "If you don't have time to look forward to what is coming up, or celebrate what has happened, you're too busy." "Without margin, you can't make sense of things." "It's a joy to know that God is at work even when we are not - it doesn't all depend on us, like grace, we experience God's work aside from ours."

I'm Kay Daigle of Beyond Ordinary Women Ministries. Welcome to the third in a series of our videos on conflict with Dr. Sue Edwards from Dallas Seminary. You can read her bio online. We began by discussing Be Prepared for Conflict. And in our last video, we talked about just the Tendencies of Women—not for all women, but many women tend to deal with conflict in a certain way. And in this video, we're going to talk about Peacemaking Practices for Sisters. And I'm excited about really getting into how to take care of conflict. I'd also like to let you know that we did a series with Oletha Barnett that really gave the foundational principles that Sue's going to kind of take some of those apart in a practical way for us no—to how to make peace and what the Bible says about conflict. And so that really is important for you to have those principles you may need to go back. That would be the third video in that series called Fight Right with Oletha Barnett, which you can find on our website. And also on our Vimeo page. So, Sue, as you think about this, what are the peacemaking practices for sisters? Sue >> Well, of course, as Oletha said, Matthew 18:15-17 gives us some really three different steps and that helps us know that we want to master that. Although it's easy to make things formulaic when you're in real situations. It's not quite that easy. But still the principles in these steps that Jesus taught us are wonderful. Kay >> Well, let me ask you, before you even get into those, how do you decide that you need to go to one of those practices? How do you know when you have to sort of attack the problem rather than let it settle? Sue >> Well, I know when there's a possible relational disconnect. That to me, relationships are so important for the unity of the body—that we women work together, that we love each other, we support each other. So if there is a possibility, if I see that woman at the grocery store and I go the other aisle or I'm still having imaginary conversations with her three or four days later, then I know that this needs to be dealt with. Or if I even get a sense that she's hurt or she's avoiding me. And what we want to do is come together, but in a sense of a learning conversation. In other words, I want to sit down with you because you are important to me. I love you as a sister in Christ, and I don't want anything to interfere with our relationship. And so if there's anything that might, so there's ways to do it that are not so scary. So, a lot of times we hate this. We think it's going to get mean and confrontational. It doesn't have to. And if that person is a healthy person, then you come at it with that kind of tone of voice and hard attitude because you think there's some issue, whether they did it, whether you did it, whatever. I would go and try to work that through. And if they're healthy,

Serving in ministry can be very hard some times. And the very people to whom we are trying to minister, are often the people who hurt us the most! But on the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will explain that we need to decide that there’s no opposition—even from those who cause us the most pain—that will make us stop doing what God has called us to do.

Dr. Kay Daigle Dr. Sue Edwards In this second video in the series Leaders, Survive and Thrive in Conflict, Dr. Sue Edwards discusses women's tendencies in conflict with Dr. Kay Daigle. Knowing our womanly inclinations when confronted with conflict enables us to practice good peacemaking that will serve us well in such situations. As leaders, there will be times when conflict arises within our church or organization, and we need to deal with it well. Learning about women's tendencies in conflict will also help any of us to overcome our usual reactions and follow Jesus as peacemakers. After all, Jesus values them as he said in the Beatitudes, "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God" (Matt. 5:9, NET).

I'm Kay Daigle of Beyond Ordinary Women Ministries. And I'm welcoming you to this second video in our series on conflict with Dr. Sue Edwards. Our series is really focused toward leaders, and Sue is giving us some tips on how to survive and thrive through conflict as leaders. In the first video, we just talked about being ready, being prepared, that conflict is going to happen. And Sue shared some of her own personal experiences with conflict as I have. And in this one we're going to talk about women's tendencies in conflict because women have some tendencies that are a little bit different from the way men might handle conflict. As I told you in the first video, you can read Sue's full bio on our website as she is an Associate Professor at Dallas Seminary. And we are so thankful that she gave us the time to talk about this. So Sue in your experience, in your research, what can you tell us about women in conflict? Sue >> Well, I think, first of all, I would give a warning that we don't want to put everybody in the same box, that stereotypes are dangerous and misleading. But there are some tendencies that are real, and I've experienced them. You probably have as well. And as women and women leaders particularly we just need to be aware. Kay >> Some of them will apply to the leaders themselves. Sue >> Yes. Yes. Kay >> And if you're a leader, you need to know what your tendencies are. Sue >> Exactly. And you need to know that as a leader, often you're working with men. So if you don't understand how you may come at this differently, then you will possibly have some real problems. So this is helpful just to be aware. Kay >> I think of the story you told in the last video that the executive pastor gave you 15 minutes to mediate an entire conflict. That's a man's tendency isn't it? Sue >> Yes, and he ended up having to—then we had three or four more sessions as a result because there was no possible way because we were in this personally. That's something that we see Janet Lever has done research on children's playgrounds and she has spent large blocks of time watching children play together. And what she has observed is that the little boys will come together, and when there is a conflict, they will get into it physically and verbally. Then they'll be rolling in the dirt, and they'll be really going after each other. But she's watching and the next day, they're fine. They don't hold on to this at all. It's just a way to work things out.

Dr. Sue Edwards Dr. Kay Daigle If you're a leader, get ready for conflict according to Dr. Sue Edwards of Dallas Seminary. It's inevitable, so we need to prepare for it as best we can. Dr. Edwards and Dr. Kay Daigle tell the story of a conflict they were both involved in years ago. Dr. Edwards strongly suggests that we learn about peacemaking now and practice it in every part of our lives. Get ready for conflict! Don't miss the second podcast in the series: Women's Tendencies in Conflict, and the third, Empowering Practices in Conflict. Right now all are available on video, but the second and third will drop on our podcast soon. This episode is available on video as well.

I'm Kay Daigle of Beyond Ordinary Women Ministries, and I'd like to welcome you to a series on conflict. Our guest today is Dr. Sue Edwards from Dallas Seminary. Sue is the Associate Professor of Educational Ministries and Leadership there. Her complete bio is on our website if you want to read that. This series is really a follow up to a series that we previously posted with Oletha Barnett called “Fight Right,” which will give you the basics of conflict. Sue and I today are going to talk more specifically about leadership. The title of this series is “Empowering Leaders to Survive and Thrive through Conflict.” So this will be specifically for you, but you will need the basics that Oletha gives about handling it and just some other tips that she has. It's a wonderful series. You'll find it also on our website at BeyondOrdinaryWomen.org. This is the first in three. Right now, we're just going to talk about “Get Ready.” Just to give you a little background, Sue and I met years ago and really at the time, Sue was weathering a conflict that she may talk about some in this series. I got drawn into the conflict really when I wouldn't take a stand against Sue by the people that were attacking her. And so I became a second target of these people. It bonded me and Sue because we were dealing with the same people and had experienced some of the same things. It was a very difficult time, I know for her, and it certainly was for me. So I know that Sue not only has studied conflict and studied scripturally what to do with conflict, but she has experienced conflict. She has weathered it; she has experienced it; and she has learned about it. So, Sue, I'm excited to hear what you are going to tell us about conflict and we're talking about get ready. So get us ready. Sue >> I'll start out by just saying be ready because conflict is coming and the more influential you are as a leader, the more conflict you'll experience. And our experience was, oh my goodness, it was a horrendous year for me. I was leading a women's ministry and we were in the same church there. And a rival Bible teacher (Now, those words should never even be in the same sentence, but that was the reality of what was going on.), she attempted to have me thrown out of the church as a false teacher, and it was over a doctrinal issue that at our seminary our professors agreed to disagree about. It's a gray area and godly people take different stands on it. But this woman she was not willing to do that. In fact, I remember sitting in the Executive Pastor's office, and she was glaring at me over the table and she said, “You are holding women's hands to hell.” It was that kind of rhetoric that was going on and the Executive Pastor basically said, and of course,

Christians go off the rails when we forget. Paul was going home, but he wanted Timothy to stay on track. So he gave Tim, and us, four things to remember. Scripture will be one of those, of course; but there are also human examples who've walked this path before us. And there are a couple more that we'll think about in the next few minutes. Let's join Pastor Jim as he's musing on 2 Timothy 3:12, and the persecution we should expect, as followers of Jesus.

Would you leave the Shepherd, to follow the Wolf? Jesus has brought all kinds of sheep into His flock, rescuing them from all sorts of lies and addictions and sins. But the Wolf promises them freedom from the sheep pen - plus hidden knowledge, and prestige in the world. And some of them jump. That's not an explanation of apostasy, but it is a little parable to illustrate Paul's concern. We're studying his 2nd letter to Timothy.

In this powerful discussion, we explore the profound concept of humility in leadership and ministry. The conversation draws parallels to the biblical story of King Saul and David, reminding us that true success isn't about personal glory, but about stewarding God's vision. We're challenged to consider: Are we building our ministries around a person, or around God's mission? The speakers emphasize that humility isn't about false modesty, but about prioritizing the vision God has given us over our own desires for recognition. This message encourages us to reflect on our own motivations in serving and leading. Are we seeking to amplify our own voice, or are we committed to amplifying God's message? As we navigate our faith journey, let's remember that God often requires humility from us - we can choose it willingly, or He may bring circumstances that humble us. This conversation invites us to embrace true humility, recognizing that our role is to be stewards of God's vision, not kings of our own kingdoms. -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/ Abe Camacho https://www.instagram.com/abecamacho/ Sammy Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/ -- Don't forget to stay connected with us: Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFg Instagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/ Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter -- Have a question?

Is it okay to set boundaries in ministry work? How do we balance being “all things to all people” (1 Cor 9:22) with the need for personal limits? Today's guest believes that not only is it okay to establish boundaries—it's essential. Join me as I sit down with John Gencarelli, Director of Youth and Adult Evangelization at St. Phillip Neri-Blessed Sacrament & Holy Name Parishes in Omaha. John opens up about his experience with burnout and shares how setting boundaries transformed his approach to ministry. By tracking his work hours, taking regular days off, and weaving prayer into his daily routine, John discovered how to protect his well-being while still serving effectively. He also highlights the importance of balancing family time with ministry and how thoughtful planning plays a key role in this. Ultimately, John reminds us that it's God who saves, not us, and setting boundaries allows us to trust in His plan, ensuring that we serve effectively without burning out. Tune in and learn to: * Prioritize Self-Care and Boundaries * Foster Humility, Openness, Forgiveness and Healing * Build and Maintain Community * Take Rest Seriously Mentioned in this episode: Revive Parishes (https://reviveparishes.com/).
