I’m sure you’ve heard it. You may have said it yourself: “Kids are not the church of tomorrow. They’re the church of today.” And I understand the sentiment—we need to take our children seriously now and not put them in a holding pattern of spirituality until they get older. However, if this is true, then we’re in big trouble. Jonathan Morrow, wrote in “Gen Z, a Barna Report,” With the best of intentions, we bubble-wrap our kids and create Disney World-like environments for them in our churches, and then wonder why they have no resilience in faith or life. Students are entertained but not prepa ..read more

Can Children Encounter God (Part Two)

In my Previous Article, I Introduced three Core Values that are Critical for children to have true experiences with God. They are Core Value #1 – MEAT, Core Value #2 – EQUIPPING, and Core Value #3 PRESENCE. We’re going to look a little deeper Into all three now. In looking into this topic about kids encountering God, we’re making an assumption that you, as the parent, love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind, and all your body. That’s the foundation. For you to successfully raise children and teens who are hungry and thirsty for encounters with God, they have to see the same h ..read more

Can children have true encounters with God? If so, what does that look like, and how does it happen? I was a children’s pastor for ten years, but in the last 20-plus years, I have led an organization called Kids in Ministry International, or KIMI for short. Through KIMI, my trained leaders and I have trained kids ministers in over 34 countries in our School of Supernatural Children’s Ministry, which was just in the last year. Collectively, we reach nearly 50,000 children with the supernatural gospel every week. We teach boys, girls, and teenagers not just the basics of the Christian faith but ..read more

Dear Youth Pastor, Kid’s Ministry Does Affect You!

(The following is an excerpt from my book The New Wineskin of Children’s & Youth Ministry which can be purchased here https://buff.ly/3whdeBn or on Amazon.com.) I’ll be honest. I have never been a youth pastor and have never exclusively taught teenagers more than a couple of times. Yet, in every kids’ or family conference I ever did, teenagers made up a fair percentage of the attendees. In fact, there were several times when teens pleaded with me to let them come to our events, saying, “You’re teaching kids things that nobody is teaching us!” So, I allowed them to come. I never had any of ..read more

  Is it time for a change in one of our most revered children’s ministry activities in the local church—the annual vacation Bible School, better known as VBS? KIMI Ohio’s director, Alicia White, has a new perspective on an old idea. She writes: Do Vacation Bible Schools need an Upgrade? “The traditional Vacation Bible School, or VBS for short, was established to create a summer intense Bible study or discipleship course for children who already attended church and desired to spend more time than what was allotted in a regular service setting, or what they could do during the school season ..read more

During a twenty-five year period between the 80s and the early 2000s, there was a plethora of prophetic words that went out over the largest generation in world history—the Millennials. They came from the most familiar names in prophetic circles like Rick Joyner, Cindy Jacobs, Kim Clement, and others. I posted many of those words on this website here. These words captivated me and all those who were called to raise up a supernatural generation of believers. They included revivals that would sweep through schools and day care centers. Creativity and new inventions. They prophesied entire hospit ..read more

You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly!

As a children’s pastor in North Carolina back in the early 2000s, I had a dream that would ultimately shape my ministry and lead me to realize the crucial role we, as adults in the church, play in the spiritual development of our children. In this dream, my pastor, Ray Hughes, told me that I was going to be interviewed about a hit song I had just written. The title of the song was “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly, But I Love You Anyway.” At the time, Ray and I were both country music fans, and there was a popular song called “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly, but I Love You Anyway” by C ..read more

Magic has always been a topic of fascination and intrigue for centuries. It entices our curiosity about the unknown, the extraordinary, and the supernatural. However, as believers, it is essential to discern the source of supernatural power and understand the implications of engaging with it. In this article, we will explore the concept of magic from a biblical perspective and distinguish between its two sources: God and Satan. As believers, we must acknowledge there are only two sources of supernatural power clearly revealed in the Bible – the power of God and the power of Satan. There are n ..read more

The Bible is filled with metaphors and symbolic language that can sometimes be hard to understand. One such metaphor is found in the New Testament, where Jesus talks about the fields being white unto harvest and the need for laborers in the harvest field. Many people, including myself, have wondered what exactly Jesus meant by “white wheat” in this context. In this article, we will explore different interpretations and shed some light on the meaning behind this metaphor. Growing up in eastern Montana and living in North Dakota, where wheat farming is a prominent industry, I always associated t ..read more
