We’re not experts, but we are passionate about kids' ministry. In this episode, we chat about Junior Camp, preview an exciting new Apostolic Kids resource, and share one of the most chaotic bloopers in Superclass history (spoiler: it involves a tornado siren and a full classroom panic).

We also celebrate some incredible wins, including a no-cry toddler class miracle, and share a fishin’ story that just might help you stop overthinking and start doing.

From magnetic object lessons and deep thoughts on God’s plan before creation, to a challenge for every children’s worker: don’t settle—stretch.

Also… don’t let Riley near the soundboard.

In this episode of Apostolic Children’s Ministry, Phillip is joined by Bro. Bob Lee. From blooper-filled classroom moments and object lessons to altar calls and personal ministry insights, this episode has a lot going on. You’ll hear why preparation makes all the difference, how a teabag can preach Acts 2:38, and what happens when you try to sip from two cups at once.

The episode wraps with a thought-provoking deep dive on the danger of mass-producing ministry. Whether you’re new to Sunday School or a seasoned teacher, this is your reminder to keep your lessons fresh, your heart full, and your calling personal. Handmade moments still matter.

In this episode of the Apostolic Children’s Ministry Podcast, Phillip is joined by Trystan for a coast-to-coast conversation full of laughs, victories, and thoughts. They cover camp moments, ministry wins, and a dad joke (of course).

You’ll hear practical tips like why you should never try a lesson for the first time on Sunday, plus a great new kids’ book to check out: “A Spider’s Gotta Do What a Spider’s Gotta Do.”

The episode wraps with a leadership challenge: Ministry isn’t a solo mission. If we want something that lasts, we’ve got to lift others higher than ourselves.

We’ve got tech hiccups, fire fails, and a spotlight on Bro. Brantley and the dream team behind Alabama’s new Junior Camp.

Trystan checks in with hits and misses from home and don’t miss a fantastic interview with Bro. Bradshaw that’ll leave you encouraged and reminded—you’re not in this alone.

We just wrapped up the 2025 Children’s Ministry Conference at Inland Lighthouse—and it was unforgettable. In this special episode, we sit down with Zach and Jessica Leal from Neosho, Missouri, right in the aftermath of a weekend packed with powerful altar calls, hilarious mishaps, and Holy Ghost outpourings.

From award giveaways gone wrong to Brother Zach’s infamous pie-to-the-face math challenge that makes little girls cry—we’re talking bloopers, breakthroughs, and everything in between.

We also share one of the biggest victories of the year: a children’s service pulled together in under an hour that resulted in seven kids receiving the Holy Ghost!

For feedback, bloopers, ideas, or victory reports, email us at info@apostolicsundayschool.com. And check out other Apostolic podcasts in the Apostolic Podcast Network at apostolicsundayschool.com/APN.

We’re not experts—we’re just passionate. Let’s keep reaching kids with the truth.

Trystan is back and this week we’ve got messed-up object lessons, superhero toddlers, a scripture-quoting mouse (don’t ask), and a reminder that if you’re always the smartest one in the room… it might be time to find a better room. Children’s ministry’s is awesome and wild but worth every second. Give it a listen. Or don’t. But I think you’ll be glad you did.

Episode 105 – “Fishin’, Fumbles, and the First Miracle”

This episode is a mix of flying egg yolks, fishing stories, and ministry moments. We’re talking about the real, unfiltered side of Sunday School, where object lessons flop, toddlers host birthday parties two months early, and God still moves.

We also dive into John 2 and Jesus’ first miracle, highlighting how the groundwork for the miraculous often happens in the background, not the spotlight.

Along the way: 🎛️ A tech tip on turning your keyboard into a soundboard 🔨 A bed of nails object lesson 🧠 A reminder that you don’t have to be enough—God already is 🎙️ Plus, a podcast spotlight on Apostolic Children’s Network with Chris and Sam Bradshaw—top-tier content from top-tier people in kidmin

Real stories. Real lessons. And a little bit of chaos.

Pueblo Powerhouse – Part 2 with the Kast Family

We had an absolutely incredible time wrapping up Part 2 with the amazing Kast family from Pueblo, Colorado! These folks are doing a phenomenal job leading the bus ministry at their church, and we were so inspired by their heart, their consistency, and their creative approach to reaching kids. You’re going to love hearing their story.

This week, we also brought back a few of your favorite segments:

• Dad Joke of the Week – Because you deserve to cringe and laugh at the same time (1:15)
• Something’s Wrong Here – Our blooper segment featuring those “what just happened?” moments from Sunday (1:30)
• And Then This Happened – A testimony from this past Sunday that reminds us why we do what we do (4:28)

After that, we dive into the full interview with the Kast family (6:53), and trust us—you don’t want to miss a minute of it. Their wisdom, experience, and passion for ministry will leave you both challenged and encouraged.

We held off on a few other regular segments this week because… well, the conversation was just that good and the episode ran longer than expected. But don’t worry—they’ll be back next week!

Outro starts at 1:19:59, where we wrap things up and share a few thoughts for the road.

As always, thank you for joining us. We’re not experts—we’re just passionate about children’s ministry and committed to getting better, together. If you’ve got questions, topic ideas, or just want to say hey, email us at info@apostolicsundayschool.com or hit us up on WhatsApp. And if you’re enjoying the podcast, let someone know!

God bless, and have a fantastic week in children’s ministry!
