The Future of Kids Church Visuals with Jeremiah Bender | S2 E7

Episode 7 The Kids Church Visuals Show explores, in this episode, the importance of using compelling visuals and media to communicate the gospel to children. And our host, Sheik Mozart, talks with Jeremiah Bender, about the future of kids church visuals. Jeremiah works with Epic Ministries to present the gospel through interactive game shows. Bender shares how Epic Ministries uses fun and creativity to engage kids and help them connect with Jesus. He emphasizes that faith and fun are not mutually exclusive - rather, we should embrace the creative nature of our God by using dynamic visuals in kids ministry. They discuss the current state of kids ministry media, noting a range from dated, low-effort visuals to cutting-edge, professionally-produced content. Bender encourages churches to experiment and adapt, keeping up with the media that captivates kids today. Looking to the future, Jeremiah envisions kids actively participating in creating media and visuals as an act of worship. He sees potential for technology to enhance the ministry experience, when used with intention rather than just for the sake of production value. In closing, he encourages churches not to fear change, but to boldly try new approaches. He reminds listeners that where they lack, God will provide. The key is remaining open, prayerful, and willing to learn from others succeeding in this space.
