Are you drowning in kids ministry ideas, resources, and expectations—and not sure what to actually say “yes” to? In this episode of the KMC Collective Podcast, Tom, Cole, and Ben talk honestly about moving from overwhelmed to focused by sorting “good stuff” from “God stuff” in children’s ministry.
Fresh off the Children’s Pastors Conference and its jam‑packed resource rooms, they unpack:
- How to handle conference overload and come home with a clear plan
- A simple filter for deciding which ideas, tools, and curriculums fit YOUR church
- Why mission, vision, and values must drive your calendar (not trends or pressure)
- Practical ways to plan VBS, Easter, and summer without burning out
- How to use systems (folders, notes, digital tools) to capture ideas and fight overwhelm
- Why some long‑standing events might need to end—and how to evaluate them
- How coaching and community can help you stop leading alone
If you’re a kids pastor, children’s director, or key volunteer staring at a packed ministry calendar and feeling the weight of it all, this conversation will help you breathe, refocus, and take your next right step.
