Kids WANT Fun, but NEED Love - Karl Bastian Podcast 221

from Karl Bastian's Podcast (Formerly Kidmin Talk) · host Karl Bastian

Kids want fun. That’s obvious. But what they need is love. In this episode, Karl unpacks Kidology Theorem #02 and challenges children’s ministry leaders to deliver fun with purpose—and love without condition. Why is laughter a highway to a child’s heart? Why do we naturally gravitate toward the “easy kids”? And what happens when we show unconditional love before expecting behavior?With Scripture, stories, and practical insight, Karl reminds leaders that fun is the ticket—but love is the destination. Because it’s not your lesson kids will remember… it’s whether they knew you loved them.Based on Kidology Theorem #02Share with Kidology.org/podcast221THE KARL BASTIAN PODCAST (Formerly KidminTalk) is the Podcast of "Kidologist" Karl Bastian, founder of Kidology.org and host of The Karl Bastian Podcast  He is a children’s pastor, speaker and entertainer.
