Living In A Digital World
Our children are digital natives while we as adults are digital natives. Our kids need to know how to live in this digital world which means knowing how to protect themselves online, protect their personal info, how to balance their screen time and create content that will encourage and inspire people online.
This was our first Digital Life Skills Camp and we had so much fun teaching the kids. There will definitely be more to come.
Run Your Race!
At our last camp we talking to the kids about running the race.
It's so important for the kids to know that God has a race for them to run and the race is unique to them.
"So let us run the race that is set before us and never give up"
Hebrews 12:1

The theme was titled, "God Is With Us" and we had so much fun with them.
Our main scripture was from Isaiah 43:5 which says,
"Fear not, for I am with you"

with them through through this new season.
We taught not to fear the unknown but to trust God and ask for His help
We drove home the truth that, God is always with them.

The Child-Friendly Guy
Why Are You Serving In Children's Ministry?
In my 15+ years of serving in Children's ministry I can count only a handful of kids that have come up and
thanked me for teaching them. What about you?
Serving in Children's ministry has to be more than trying to get recognition.
Our kids need love and people who believe in them.
They need people who know that God has put them there and who wants to use them to impact their lives.
As you serve in Children's ministry know that God has put you there and He is using you.
Children are being touched by you even if no one has come up and told you.
In this season, it's time to step it up and give even more than we have given before the pandemic.
Will you be that person?
If you enjoyed this episode consider giving it a 5-star rating and make sure to share it with people you know
who work with children.
What did you get from the episode?
I would love to hear what you thought and the things you took away from it.
