“…and justice for all.” For as long as any of us can remember, those four words signaled the start of the school day, the VBS opening assembly, and every Boy Scout or Girl Scout meeting. Chances are, even if those words weren't part of our Pledge of Allegiance, our desire for justice is still deeply ingrained. “…and justice for all.”For as long as any of us can remember, those four words signaled the start of the school day, the VBS opening assembly, and every Boy Scout or Girl Scout meeting. Chances are, even if those words weren't part of our Pledge of Allegiance, our desire for justice is still deeply ingrained.” –A car that sped by you gets pulled over by a state trooper — justice. –The neighbor who never edges his sidewalk finally gets fined by the HOA — justice. –Your boss pays attention to the extra hours you've been putting in, and you get the promotion — justice. But what happens when you're the offender? You forget to return something you borrowed. You get caught driving solo in the HOV lane. There's an honest mistake on your tax return. Suddenly, your cry for justice becomes a plea for mercy. How does God balance it all? Can the same God be both just and merciful? He can. He does. He has. He will. What may be an impossible balance of character for man is the true nature and essence of who God is.

Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Lead Ministry Podcast, Josh Denhart challenges the idea that VBS is outdated or ineffective.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?

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.

What does it really take to scale toward $100 million while staying aligned with your values, vision, and calling? In this candid episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly pulls back the curtain on the real journey to her $100M goal: the messy pivots, crushed dreams, and the moments of divine direction that shaped her path forward. You'll hear how she went from running six companies at once with no clear “one thing” to identifying thecornerstone of her next era of growth. She shares why she walked away from the idea of scaling her high-ticket coaching model to $100M, faith-led decision-making and why she's embracing a decade-long vision instead of chasing big, immediate results.  If you've ever wrestled with long-term strategy, business model decisions, or trusting the process in uncertain times, this episode is for you.  What You'll Learn: The difference between growth and scale - and why both matter Why Kelly walked away from scaling her high-ticket model beyond 8 figures The next steps toward building her second 8-figure company Timestamps: 3:00 – Why Kelly decided not to scale her high-ticket coaching model to $100M 7:40 – The staffing realities of scaling to 9 figures 9:00 – Killing a dream and building six companies 11:40 – God's directive to keep Virtual Business School going 13:00 – The market shift that positioned VBS for massive growth 15:10 – Putting VBS at the helm of the business portfolio 16:16 – Boutique consulting plans for The Business Advisory 18:18 – Slowing down after 8 figures 21:14 – Shifting from self-reliance to partnering with God RESOURCES: Subscribe to the newsletter: https://thekellyroach.com/kairosnewsletterorganic  Join Kelly's Virtual Business School membership: https://go.virtualbusinessschool.com/joinvbs    Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kelly-roach-show/id1052353755    Download the FREE Guide to creating Trust Building Offers that sell:  https://kellyroachinternational.kit.com/tbo     Follow Kelly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyroachofficial/        Follow Kelly on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelly.roach.520/     Connect with Kelly on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyroachint/
