Die schlechten Nachrichten aus dem VBS reissen nicht ab. Nun machen sich einmal mehr Probleme beim neuen Luftraum-Überwachungssystem bemerkbar. Denn dieses läuft auf der neuen Digitalisierungsplattform, die sich auch erst im Aufbau befindet. Weitere Themen: Die Nato will sich ab sofort unter dem Motto «Wachposten in der Arktis» verstärkt um die Sicherheit im hohen Norden kümmern. Das haben die Verteidigungsminister am Freitag beschlossen. Es geht um ein Signal der Abschreckung an die Adresse Russlands, aber nicht nur. Dieser Tage wurden die Betreiber der Unglücksbar in Crans-Montana einvernommen. Dutzende Anwälte der Opfer und ihre Familien sind zugelassen, Publikum hingegen nicht. Allerdings geben die Anwälte oftmals Informationen an die Presse weiter, was problematisch für den Strafprozess sein kann.

Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Lead Ministry Podcast, Josh Denhart challenges the idea that VBS is outdated or ineffective. He explains why VBS still works as outreach when it is designed around clarity, sustainability, and gospel depth rather than exhaustion and overprogramming.If you have ever wondered whether VBS is worth the time, energy, or budget, this episode will give you a fresh framework for doing it in a way that energizes leaders, engages kids, and reaches families.Key Topics CoveredWhy VBS still works as outreach – Separating bad models from good ministryBurnout and volunteer fatigue – Designing systems that do not exhaust teamsA better VBS framework – Gospel clarity, simplicity, and sustainabilityKey Quote“VBS isn't dead. Bad VBS is.”Scripture ReferencesMatthew 19:14 – “Let the little children come to me.”Acts 2:42 – “They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching.”TakeawayVBS becomes powerful outreach when it is built to serve leaders and volunteers, not drain them. When the gospel is clear every day and systems are simple, momentum follows.Call to ActionWe hope this episode encourages and equips you.

Did you know that April 15 marks Eastgate's 31st birthday? Last year at a staff meeting, we talked about how amazed we were that our little church community had reached 30 years. Now here we are, a year later, celebrating 31.Instead of throwing a big party, we realized we would rather invest our energy into the people and ministries that make this community what it is.Over the past year, we launched a podcast to share more about who we are and to talk about things we do not always have time for on a Sunday morning. We created our first ever VBS program from scratch and served over 30 children. We began weekly financial support for Pastor Christian and the Spanish speaking ministry he leads. We also opened a new Eastgate location in the Fountain and Marianna area called Eastgate North, led by Julie Gjendem and her husband Trond. We also continued many of the quiet, faithful practices that shape who we are. Our weekly donations to the Panama City Rescue Mission continued. Our meal train ministry kept bringing meals to families welcoming babies or walking through illness. Men's gatherings, women's gatherings, young adult meetings, and small groups all carried on. We trained and hired our teens to help care for children during special events, inviting them into responsibility and service. I have been part of this community for all 31 years, and I am continually in awe of what God has done through this imperfect, generous group of people. That brings us to this Sunday's scripture. Jesus will be teaching about what to do when people in a community face internal struggles. The truth is that a healthy community is made up of people, and wherever there are people, there will be conflict. This Sunday we will read Matthew 18:15 to 35. The first part of the teaching helps us see that conflict is not only normal, but that there are wise and loving ways to address it. How might learning to handle conflict well actually strengthen a community rather than weaken it?We invite you to join us this Sunday at 10:00 AM as we study this scripture together and reflect on what it means to cultivate community.Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/ece-devotions/20260209ECME.mp3 Listen to Devotion [Jesus said:] “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 4:13,14 Hide It Under a Bushel, NO! Many may remember the song from childhood Sunday School and VBS. It goes like this, “This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. Hide it under a bushel, NO!, I'm gonna let it shine. Don't let Satan *blow* it out, I'm gonna let it shine.” Be honest. Did a Sunday School memory come roaring back and make you sing along? A couple years ago, there was a video version of the song “This Little Light of Mine” which was circulating the early childhood world for a while. This version was by Listener Kids, and the video starts with a very catchy tune and one lightbulb walking down the road singing, “This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!” Next, two other light bulbs come in, and now three light bulbs are walking down the road singing, “This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!” Finally, more light bulbs are walking down their street, singing their song and letting their light shine for the whole neighborhood to see: “All around the world, I'll jump off the ground and shout. This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.” I love the concrete illustration of that video for kids. If we let our light shine and share our faith, other people's faith is also strengthened, and others also want to tell the world about the light of Jesus! We share the best news with the world: Jesus loves you, and Jesus saves you. This is the best news we want to proclaim to all the ends of the earth because it enlightens a world darkened by sin. Have you heard the term, “childlike faith”? “Childlike faith” refers to how children believe and live their faith. Children hear the gospel, believe it, and tell everyone. They don't try to make it make sense, and they don't need it proved to them. They simply believe because they trust the person who told them. For this reason, kids can be the best evangelists. The Christian songs that you lead with your children at school become the songs the kids automatically sing at home. The prayers that you lead before snack time and lunch become their dinner prayers at home, too. Kids will tell anyone and everyone the Jesus loves them. What a blessing that they let their light shine! The world can look dark and daunting. Kids remind us to go back to the basics and to be the light Christ has called us to be. Jesus loves me; this I know. I am a light, and I'm going to let it shine. Prayer: Dear Jesus, Thank you for allowing us to be your messengers. Thank you for the little lives we get to share your amazing news with every day. It's a blessing to be able to grow your kingdom, and we are thankful for the opportunity to do so. Amen. A Question to Consider: Has there been a moment this week that you have seen a child have “childlike faith”? Can you think of a way in the next week that you can let your light shine?

Is Advent a Catholic tradition, or just a really old Christian rhythm we forgot existed?In this Advent themed episode, we answer two real pastor questions:“Is Advent a Catholic tradition? Will this cause issues in a Baptist church?”  “Do you sing Christmas carols during Advent, or wait until Christmas Eve?” (Also, why is this guy getting ambushed in elder meetings?)We talk history, Baptist baggage, and the practical “how do I introduce this without detonating my church” stuff.

n this episode, our four not-so-prepared heroes—Eli, Mara, Jonah, and Claire—discover that the creepiest hallway in the church isn't just home to crunchy carpet and forgotten VBS decorations. It's also hiding a mysterious ancient Box that apparently has opinions and blinks like a socially awkward firefly. With Keeper guiding them (and Scrambler… “helping”), the kids place the first emblem into the Box and are launched into one of the most breathtaking scenes in Scripture: the creation of the world. Light explodes, oceans rise, stars scatter across a canvas of nothingness, and Eden blooms before their eyes. But alongside the wonder, something stirs in Eli—an uneasy sense that perfection never stays perfect for long. Join us as we step inside the first pages of the universe and watch God paint reality into existence, one word at a time. It's beauty, comedy, theology, and chaos—with Scrambler screaming his way through Day 5's birds, Jonah trying to whisper through existential crises, and Claire feeling the music of creation deep in her bones.

If there's one age group that keeps leaders on their toes, it's preteens. In this honest and insightful episode, Melissa and Kieron dive into the messy, complicated, and often intimidating world of preteen ministry, a season filled with different learning styles, big questions, and big emotions. They unpack why this age group matters so deeply and why the conversations we have with them can feel so tough…and so important.From shifting cultural pressures to identity struggles, from friendship drama to the awkward-but-essential bridge between kids ministry and middle school, they explore what it takes to create a supportive, safe, and spiritually formative space for preteens to grow.You'll hear practical strategies for engaging this in-between age, learn why VBS can be a powerful transition moment, and be encouraged by both Melissa and Kieron's personal calling stories, reminders that God meets us in the hard moments and uses them to shape the next generation.Preteen ministry isn't easy…but it is worth it. And this conversation will help you lead with clarity, courage, and compassion.SHOW LINKS: Levels of Biblical Learning Connect with Lifeway Kids Leave us a voice message here with any questions or feedback!

What does it really take to scale toward $100 million while staying aligned with your values, vision, and calling?

We're back in the studio for Episode 299, shaking off the summer sand and diving into all the ministry mayhem we missed while you were at camp, VBS, or just trying to survive without air conditioning.In this episode: • We share our best (and worst) Baptism Sunday strategies—what worked, what flopped, and how to keep the water warm and the volunteers sane. • Frank gives us the inside scoop on Vision Sunday at Lakeview and the official launch of Cross & Crown Church, complete with a new logo and fresh t-shirts (soft cotton, obviously). • Oh, and yes... there's a real-life waffle stomp story. It's exactly what you're afraid it is.As always, we're bringing honest talk about life, ministry, and the strange things that happen the morning after.Rate, review, share it with your worship pastor, and please—for the love of all that is holy—check the drain cover before you hop in the church baptismal.

In this solo episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly shares the behind-the-scenes strategy behind building her second 8-figure business (and why she's taking a radically different path this time).

Enter The Virtual Business School: a lean, scalable, high-impact membership model that allows her to serve thousands with minimal infrastructure, low cost, and maximum freedom. This episode breaks down how Kelly made the decision to pivot, what she learned from growing multiple brands, and why now is the perfect time to rethink your business model.

Pastor Micah Stephens preaches from Acts 28, exploring God's unusual kindness through Paul's shipwreck and viper bite on Malta. Reflecting on VBS and family time, he challenges believers to embrace obedience amid trials, trusting God's perfect plan even when it seems chaotic. Pastor Micah contrasts worldly expectations with God's sovereignty, emphasizing that hardships—like Paul's fourth shipwreck—lead to miraculous outcomes, such as Malta's transformation to Christianity. He urges reliance on God's unfailing promises, shaking off life's “vipers” to proclaim His goodness, reminding the church that true freedom comes from submission, turning apparent detours into divine missions for eternal glory.Verse References: Acts 28 verses 1–6, Hebrews 6 verse 18, John 8 verse 36, 1 John 5 verse 14, 1 Peter 5 verse 7, 1 John 1 verse 9, Romans 8 verse 28, 1 Corinthians 1 verses 25–27, 1 Corinthians 1 verse 27Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Segment 1: • Is America right to intervene? The Middle East crisis raises tough theological and political questions. • Distinguishing between national Israel and covenant Israel requires careful biblical thinking. • Todd introduces Just War Theory: legitimate government, last resort, just cause — but it's not so simple. Segment 2: • The Just War debate gets even messier when we add goals, methods, and terms of peace. • Terror attacks complicate the moral landscape—how do Christians think clearly here? • Biblical principles demand wisdom, not just reactionary headlines. Segment 3: • A violent attack in Michigan stopped by brave church members — do you have a plan? • Churches must take serious security precautions in an increasingly hostile culture. • Evil doesn't take Sundays off — wise leadership includes protecting the flock. Segment 4: • VBS has morphed — but should kids lead Sunday worship? • Entertainment-driven services may feel fun, but undermine biblical worship. • Worship isn't a Whoopty Doo Fest; it's about glorifying God, not entertaining people. ___ Thanks for listening!
