Yep bring it back. Believe it or not, some people won’t reads blog but they will listen to a podcast. Plus it’s fun to hand someone a podcast file on a dial and say “you have got to listen to this, it will completely alter your life” that’s much more fun than emailing a link haha.

But seriously bring it back, please. Pretty Please!

This is such a great resource! Thank you so much for posting! I can tell you, we're going to "borrow" some of these ideas for my church's youth event next month. I make sure to watch Minute to Win It every week for new ideas. Did you see the Beauty Queen or East vs. West episodes? I'm definitely tuning into the sisters' episode tonight!!! Thanks again!

Comment on PART 1 of 4 – TRANSFORMATIONAL CHILDRENS MINISTRY by IVY BECKWITH (A Dad in the Middle Review) by Wayne

Ivy,

Thanks for your comment. I’m honored that you bothered to check out my review. I really enjoyed your book, and enjoyed reviewing it for this site. I actually finished your book Ultimate Survival Guide last Friday, and I plan on writing about it over on Kidmin1124.com [a cooperative blog I created by, for and about volunteers and bi-vocational children's ministers]. I do appreciate all that you are doing to challenge conventional thinking when it comes to children’s ministry and pushing us all to work towards the best possible ministry towards God’s kids!

Bob,

Thanks for your comment. I really do appreciate them. I agree with your assessment that the church needs to (in its own way) integrate kids into the larger body of Christ. I also agree that children’s ministry should be a place where kids learn and model what it is like in the larger church body. At church last weekend, I noticed kids greeting people and participating in the collection. I think this is great. There is no reason these acts of service should be “reserved” for adults. Let’s allow our kids to participate in the body and be the active part of it that they should be! One of my pet peeves is when people refer to kids as “the church of tomorrow.” They are part of the church of today, and we ought to treat them as such. Thank you for all you do towards that end!
