VIDEO VERSION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! SEE YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR APOSTOLIC CHILDREN'S MINISTRY!  This episode is packed. We kick things off with Delaney back from Jordan and jump into everything happening right now across APN, the ARK podcast, Spark, VBS, and what’s coming with our toddler and youth curriculum. A lot is moving… and it’s exciting. Then we lighten things up with a couple dad jokes that are either amazing or terrible depending on your standards. From there, we hit our Victory and Blooper segment. Delaney having a full-on identity crisis mid-skit on stage. Toddlers face-laming and more…  VIEWING VIDEO RECOMMENDED - We test out an Action Song Ranking idea which was a LOT of fun! We shared an Objectively Cool illustration that flips your thinking, slowed it down with a Thought from the Notebook: “Consider or Be Hardened” from Mark 6:52. We also pull a moment From the Archives with Trystan. The main conversation is an interview with Delaney about her time in Jordan. She shares what led her there, what she expected, what surprised her, and what ministry actually looked like day to day. We talk about culture differences and what it has been like returning home. There are real insights here about missions, calling, and what it means to follow God into unfamiliar places. This episode will make you laugh, make you think, and hopefully stir something in you to stay sensitive to what God is doing. 🎧 Hit play, laugh a little, and leave encouraged.  📍 Find more at ApostolicSundaySchool.com/APN or linktr.ee/apostolicpodcastnetwork   🎥 Check out our new videos at YouTube.com/@ApostolicKids   📅 Released: April 17, 2026 _________________________________________________   Tune in for inspiring conversations, creative ideas, and practical resources to help you grow your children’s ministry.

This week’s episode is a fun mix of chaos, creativity, and real ministry talk. We kick things off with dad jokes, followed by victories and bloopers. From there, we dig into a creative object lesson idea using a lineup of wildly different hamburgers to illustrate different kinds of churches.

We cover a lot today! There’s a quick children’s book chat, some thoughts on simple illustrations that connect with kids, and a few honest reactions from real-life testing (which always matters more than reviews). We talk about what’s currently happening and what’s coming next, including new curriculum releases, upcoming projects, Apostolic Kids milestones, a training night, and kicking off a new bus route. It’s very much a “here’s what life looks like right now” kind of episode. Of course, there’s humor mixed in, including a classic dad joke that goes completely off the rails, plus a Victory Segment, bloopers, and a couple of recurring bits that keep things light. The main conversation zooms out and looks at children’s ministry from a big-picture perspective. Not getting lost in activity, noise, or busyness, but remembering why we’re doing any of it in the first place. It’s less about specifics and more about direction, focus, and staying intentional while still having fun. If you like episodes that feel like a real conversation, bounce between serious and silly, and reflect what ministry actually feels like week to week, this one’s for you.   🎧 Hit play, laugh a little, and leave encouraged.  📍 Find more at ApostolicSundaySchool.com/APN or linktr.ee/apostolicpodcastnetwork   🎥 Check out our new videos at YouTube.com/@ApostolicKids   Timestamps Intro (0:00) Dad Joke (16:03) Victories / Bloopers (19:07) Thought from the Notebook (28:20) From the Archives (32:40) Objectively Cool (36:45) Don’t Be Like Mike”y” (39:00)   📅 Released:  January 15, 2026 _________________________________________________   Tune in for inspiring conversations, creative ideas, and practical resources to help you grow your children’s ministry.

An even more HUGE thank you to Bro Dylan Mallet from Carmi, IL for helping to edit the audio AND video version of the podcast!

The kind that shows up when you are faithful, prepared, prayerful, and consistent… yet still not seeing the results you hoped for. Along the way, we explore the power of spiritual hunger, how comfort and routine can dull our appetite for God, and why extraordinary spiritual moments almost always happen through hungry people. We share real stories, practical insights, object lesson ideas, victories, bloopers, and a few laughs to keep things real and encouraging. If you’ve ever questioned whether what you’re doing matters, this episode is for you. Keep showing up. Keep loving kids. Keep teaching truth.

Today’s episode is going to be a little different — in the best kind of way. Instead of our usual format, I’m going to play a round-table conversation that a bunch of us recorded together at the recent Children’s Ministry Conference in Union City, Tennessee. Now, before we jump in, let me set the stage a bit. This was the very first national conference hosted by the WPF Children’s Ministry Council outside of Southern California — and honestly, it couldn’t have gone better. It was held at First Pentecostal Church, pastored by Bro. Dwayne Uzzle, and I don’t think we could’ve picked a more perfect location. The place is central, the church has an incredible children’s ministry, and the whole team absolutely crushed it with setup, decorations, and organization. It kicked off Thursday morning with something none of us from California could quite believe — we went into a public school to do a full children’s service. Eric Williams and his team from Union City have been ministering in several schools for a while, and this time we got to join them. Over 300 kids packed into the gym, and yes, we got to preach Jesus in a public school… and even blow things up a little with my exploding bubbles and balloons lesson. Only in Tennessee, folks. From there, the conference rolled straight into sessions Friday and Saturday, with around 25 churches represented and about 110-plus people attending. Every part of it was top-notch — the sessions, the fellowship, the food (which the host church graciously donated), and especially the services. Friday night’s service was focused on the theme of God’s love — the kind you can’t outrun no matter what you’ve done — and by the end of the night, 14 kids and one adult had received the gift of the Holy Ghost. Then, on Sunday morning, Pastor Uzzle hosted one more children’s service, and another 16 kids received the Holy Ghost, bringing the total to 31 for the weekend. Absolutely incredible. After the final sessions, a bunch of us sat down to record a big group podcast. Picture about ten tired, over-caffeinated children’s ministers crowded around a table, trying to make one microphone work while spilling water everywhere and laughing way too hard. It was chaotic. It was hilarious. And it was a lot of fun. So that’s what you’re about to hear — a raw, unfiltered conversation straight from the end of an unforgettable weekend. It may not always make sense, but you’ll feel the energy, the laughter, and the love for children’s ministry that filled that room.

This week’s episode, Faithfulness Attracts Favor, dives into the story of King Asa in 2 Chronicles 15 and the principle that when God is with you, people are drawn… you don’t have to chase favor, it finds you. Between object lessons, hilarious Sunday bloopers, and some good old-fashioned dad jokes, hopefully something here you like. 🎧 Hit play, laugh a little, and leave encouraged.  📍 Find more at ApostolicSundaySchool.com/APN or linktr.ee/apostolicpodcastnetwork   🎥 Check out our new videos at YouTube.com/@ApostolicKids   Timestamps Intro (0:00) Dad Joke (4:07) Sunday Victories (6:33) Sunday Bloopers (9:55) Lesson From Fishing (12:39) Voice from the Outside (18:29 ) Objectively Awesome (25:19) From the Archives (29:53) Faithfulness Attracts Favor (32:46) 📅 Released: October 16, 2025 _________________________________________________   Tune in for inspiring conversations, creative ideas, and practical resources to help you grow your children’s ministry.

Phillip flies solo this week after a stretch of travel through Oklahoma City and Laurel, Mississippi. You’ll get a dad joke with a laugh track, a blooper that accidentally teaches “two gods” instead of one, and some victories straight from the classroom and altar. There’s a fishing story about servant leadership, a message from the mission field with Delaney in Jordan, an object lesson that proves “Who’s Really Doing the Work,” and a revival of a classic from the archives, “Disappearing Ink: Destroying the Dream.” Then, Phillip wraps it all up with a reflective Final Thought called “Seeing the Bigger Picture.” It’s a reminder that sometimes what we think is “the problem” in ministry, the kids, the lesson, the chaos, isn’t the problem at all. Maybe we just need to step back, pray more, and trust the Builder who’s working in every room. 🎧 Hit play, laugh a little, and leave encouraged.  📍 Find more at ApostolicSundaySchool.com/APN or linktr.ee/apostolicpodcastnetwork   🎥 Check out our new videos at YouTube.com/@ApostolicKids   Timestamps Intro (0:00) Dad Joke (2:04) Sunday Bloopers (2:46) Sunday Victories (4:33 ) Lesson From Fishing (7:05) Voice from the Outside (10:38) Objectively Awesome (18:24) From the Archives (20:56) Seeing the Bigger Picture (24:03) 📅 Released: October 9, 2025 _________________________________________________   Tune in for inspiring conversations, creative ideas, and practical resources to help you grow your children’s ministry.

This week’s episode comes to you from Pigeon Forge, TN, right in the middle of the Kountry Kids Conference at Summit. From bloopers that had us cracking up to victories that left us in awe, you’ll hear the stories, the lessons, and the reminders of why we do what we do. We wrap things up with a big takeaway from Summit: the power of working with others. When fifty-plus people from thirty churches come together, the results are bigger than what any one of us could do alone. Collaboration multiplies, whether it’s Summit, the ACTS in Action curriculum, or SPARK magazine.
