One of the most pivotal seasons in a young person’s spiritual journey is the transition from kids ministry to student ministry. It’s a season filled with excitement, change—and often, challenges. As ministry leaders, we want to see continuity and connection, not confusion and inconsistency. But how do we intentionally bridge the gaps that naturally exist between age-specific ministries?

In this episode, Chuck Peters, along with Jana Magruder and Zac Workun, reflect on the importance of collaboration across ministry lines. We examine the relational, physical, and philosophical gaps that often go unaddressed—and how these affect the spiritual formation of the next generation. It’s a reminder that building bridges isn’t just about programs or logistics—it’s about people, purpose, and shared vision.

If this episode challenged or encouraged you, take a moment to rate, review, and share it with fellow ministry leaders. Let’s keep building bridges that lead kids and students into deeper relationships with Christ.
