Questioning your own knowledge and experience? Along with co-author Sam Luce, Hunter Williams believes theology doesn’t have to be “too deep for kids” or taught “by professionals.” CLICK HERE For more information or to order copies of How to Teach Kids Theology: Deep Truths for Growing Faith.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wmbwSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stepping into the role of a counselor can feel intimidating, but wearing this hat can be so crucial for creating lasting spiritual impact on the families we serve. On today's show we're putting on the "counselor hat" and tackling one of the most meaningful yet challenging roles in kids ministry. Moving away from a flashy, entertainment-driven approach, we talk about how the church can focus on building genuine relationships and fostering a safe community for kids.We also dive into the role of the children's ministry leader as a counselor for pre-faith conversations and other important discussions with kids and their families. You'll hear about the importance of building strong relationships with both parents and children, as well as the transformative power of listening and being rooted in the Word of God. From addressing deeper heart issues over surface-level behavior to walking with kids through grief and hard times, this episode offers invaluable insights on being present, compassionate, and spiritually grounded in every interaction.Thanks for listening and sharing with a friend.SHOW LINKS: The Moon is Always RoundForming FaithThe Cross Forum Kidmin PodcastConnect with SamConnect with Lifeway Kids

Youth workers and children's ministry leaders need to work together. This should be obvious and common, but these ministries often fail to have intentional collaboration and transitions. What can youth workers learn from children's ministry leaders and how can they learn to meaningfully partner with families?   Discussion Includes: Why have you committed to remain serving in children's ministry?  Could you share your approach to discipling upper-elementary students?  How does your church navigate the transition from children's ministry into youth ministry? If there are other ways you've seen that transition done well, could you also share those?  Are there some common misconceptions youth workers have about children's ministry? What are some lessons or practices that are common in children's ministry that are overlooked in student ministry?  Sam Luce is one of the Pastors at Redeemer Church in Utica, NY and his blog, samluce.com is one of the top children's ministry blogs online. Sam is working on two books, one with Moody and the other with New Growth Press, so keep your eyes open for those.  Books New City Catechism Heidelberg Catechism Resilient: Child Discipleship and the Fearless Future of the Church, by Awana Show them Jesus: Teaching the Gospel to Kids, Jack Klumpenhower
