Show Notes:
What trends do you see in Kidmin and Family Ministry?
Greater sense of unity in the church and outside the church (churches working together more)
Uses of technology- the greater need for leaders understanding how to use social media and the best ways to leverage it to connect with the community and parents.
More Tribe conversation and more tribes having conversations with each other.
Using FB ads, email marketing
What are leaders doing well to develop leaders and their ministry?
More intentional about relational discipleship.
Small groups are better at building those relationships and are taking kids and students deeper.
Better networking is being done now than before.
As far as developing leaders:
*Define what leadership looks like- coaching structures and leveraging part-time staff.
*Better alignment among ministries.
*Better training for volunteers.
*More intentional with creating healthier volunteer cultures.
What can leaders in smaller ministries do to develop leaders (principles still apply to larger churches as well.)
*Be clear with your roles- You must use job descriptions, put it on paper!
*Be Patient- it takes time to develop leaders and you must figure out a stepping up process to help them take next steps in responsibility and ownership.
*Be Encouraging- You need to be their champion and let them know it. Be intentional about your encouragement with cards, texts, and phone calls. Let them know how you see them growing and developing as a leader.
**Leadership creates space for others to lead** (Tweet This!)
*You should ask, who can step into my role now and how can I help them become a better leader? start a process now to move them forward.
Invest time and resources into them. - conferences, books, podcasts.
Create a team and teach them leadership principles.

Sometimes we make ourselves bigger than we should so that others will notice us or follow us. When we look at Scripture we see that this is not a godly behavior, yet in ministry we see it happen all the time. I have been guilty of it too. I was challenged to consider several principles that I share with you in this deeply personal episode. Thanks for listening! Please leave a review on iTunes to help others in ministry!! Thanks!!

So 2018 is here, now what?? What will God do through you, your family and your ministry in 2018?
Here are 4 things from the story in Mark 2 that I think we need to have in place to see amazing things happen.
1) Faith- How big is your faith, is it as big as your God? Do you believe God can accomplish greater things than you've ever seen before? REALLY, do YOU???
2) Plan- Whats your plan, are you ready to recieve God's plan or are you trying to copy what someone else is doing and using their plan? Are you a follower instead of a leader? are you a copycat kidmin? Don't use someone elses plan. Ask God for his plan for you, your family, your ministry and then WRITE IT DOWN!
3) Opposition- are you ready for it, do you know how to respond to it, instead of reacting??? It will come and if your faith is big and your plan is strong, you will push through any opposition and turn it into an opportunity to see God blow it away!
4) Implementation- Are you ready to put Gods plan into action. Don't question if you have the resources, time, budget or personell. If God tells you to do it, go and do it and he will provide everything you need. You need to order your steps and then take them.
If God starts doing something, people will be saying, "We have NEVER seen anything like this!!!"
Please post a review in iTunes for us, we grately appreciate that!! Also share in our FB group about what God is doing!!! Looking forward to hearing amazing stories!! #Neverseenthisbefore
