30. Bridging the Educational Gap in Next Gen Ministries with Jay Strother

Every child’s faith journey is a story in progress, but far too often, our ministry strategies treat it like a series of disconnected chapters. When there’s no alignment between kids and student ministries, we risk losing spiritual momentum at the very moments when children are ready to grow deeper. In today’s conversation, Chuck Peters and Pastor Jay Strother step into the critical work of closing educational gaps in the church, ensuring that from preschool to high school graduation, our ministries are not just passing the baton, but running the race together. This powerful episode explores the essential topic of educational alignment between kids and student ministries. If this episode encouraged or challenged you, please take a moment to rate, review, and share it with your ministry team. Your voice helps spread these important conversations to more leaders who are shaping the future of the Church, one generation at a time.SHOW LINKS:Bible Studies for LifeExplore the Bible HyfiThe Gospel Project Day by Day Chronological BibleRead and RemainReach TeensTeach KidsRegister for ETCH Conference 2026Connect with Lifeway Next Gen Ministry
