We’re not experts, but we are passionate about kids' ministry. In this episode, we chat about Junior Camp, preview an exciting new Apostolic Kids resource, and share one of the most chaotic bloopers in Superclass history (spoiler: it involves a tornado siren and a full classroom panic).

We also celebrate some incredible wins, including a no-cry toddler class miracle, and share a fishin’ story that just might help you stop overthink...

From blooper-filled classroom moments and object lessons to altar calls and personal ministry insights, this episode has a lot going on. You’ll hear why preparation makes all the difference, how a teabag can preach Acts 2:38, and what happens when you try to sip from two cups at once.

This week’s episode of the Apostolic Children’s Ministry Podcast comes to you in a patched-together style! Phillip checks in from Junior Camp in Alabama, with a behind-the-scenes look at the chaos, the victories, and the incredible people pouring their lives into children’s ministry.

We just wrapped up the 2025 Children’s Ministry Conference at Inland Lighthouse—and it was unforgettable. In this special episode, we sit down with Zach and Jessica Leal from Neosho, Missouri, right in the aftermath of a weekend packed with powerful altar calls, hilarious mishaps, and Holy Ghost outpourings.

From award giveaways gone wrong to Brother Zach’s infamous pie-to-the-face math challenge that makes little girls cry—we’re t...

Trystan is back and this week we’ve got messed-up object lessons, superhero toddlers, a scripture-quoting mouse (don’t ask), and a reminder that if you’re always the smartest one in the room… it might be time to find a better room. Children’s ministry’s is awesome and wild but worth every second.  Give it a listen. Or don’t. But I think you’ll be glad you did.

Episode 105 – “Fishin’, Fumbles, and the First Miracle”

This episode is a mix of flying egg yolks, fishing stories, and ministry moments. We’re talking about the real, unfiltered side of Sunday School, where object lessons flop, toddlers host birthday parties two months early, and God still moves.

We also dive into John 2 and Jesus’ first miracle, highlighting how the groundwork for the miraculous often happens in the background, n...

We had an absolutely incredible time wrapping up Part 2 with the amazing Kast family from Pueblo, Colorado!

You’re going to love hearing their story.

This week, we also brought back a few of your favor...

This episode is packed—and not just with jokes, bloopers, and object lessons (though we’ve got those too). Episode 102 dives into the real moments of children’s ministry: the chaos, the breakthroughs, the doubts, and the growth that happens when we just keep showing up.

Today’s episode takes a different turn—one inspired by Gabe Baker from the Kidmin Backstage podcast. We’re diving into the struggle of impostor syndrome, that nagging feeling that you’re not enough or don’t belong, even when God has clearly called you.
