This week’s episode is a fun mix of chaos, creativity, and real ministry talk. We kick things off with dad jokes, followed by victories and bloopers. From there, we dig into a creative object lesson idea using a lineup of wildly different hamburgers to illustrate different kinds of churches.

Then we land on the heart of the episode: sharpening the saw. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 10:10, we talk about why ministry starts to feel heavy...

This week on the podcast, Trystan and I talk wins, low moments, and a touch of everything else.

In our “Thought from the Notebook,” we dig into the power of ownership. From the archives, we revisit a simple object lesson using two kinds of toilet paper.

Then we land on the main idea of the episode: Preparation changes everything.

We cover a lot today! There’s a quick children’s book chat, some thoughts on simple illustrations that connect with kids, and a few honest reactions from real-life testing (which always matters more than reviews).

We talk about what’s currently happening and what’s coming next, including new curriculum releases, upcoming projects, Apostolic Kids milestones, a training night, and kicking off a new bus route. It’s very much a “here’s...

Welcome to 2026! We’re kicking off the year the only way we know how… with a little bit of coffee, a lot of prayer, and our annual "business and vision" training.

An even more HUGE thank you to Bro Dylan Mallet from Carmi, IL for helping to edit the audio AND video version of the podcast!

Today we dive into one of the most common and quiet struggles in ministry, frustration. The kind that shows up when you are faithful, prepared, prayerful, and consistent… yet still not seeing the results you hoped for.

Along the way, we explore the power of spiritual hunger, how comfort and routine can dull...

Today’s episode is going to be a little different — in the best kind of way. Instead of our usual format, I’m going to play a round-table conversation that a bunch of us recorded together at the recent Children’s Ministry Conference in Union City, Tennessee.

Now, before we jump in, let me set the stage a bit. This was the very first national conference hosted by the WPF Children’s Ministry Council outside of Southern California — a...

This week’s episode, Faithfulness Attracts Favor, dives into the story of King Asa in 2 Chronicles 15 and the principle that when God is with you, people are drawn… you don’t have to chase favor, it finds you. Between object lessons, hilarious Sunday bloopers, and some good old-fashioned dad jokes, hopefully something here you like.

Phillip flies solo this week after a stretch of travel through Oklahoma City and Laurel, Mississippi.

You’ll get a dad joke with a laugh track, a blooper that accidentally teaches “two gods” instead of one, and some victories straight from the classroom and altar. There’s a fishing story about servant leadership, a message from the mission field with Delaney in Jordan, an object lesson that proves “Who’s Really Doing the Work,” and...

**Apologies for the audio issues in this one! We tried to clean it up but if we filtered the echo too hard, it eliminated bits and pieces of the more distant voices... We did the best we knew how and hope you still enjoy it!**

In this special episode of the Apostolic Children’s Ministry Podcast, Phillip is on the road in Oklahoma City with the Sunday school staff from Apostolic Faith Tabernacle, led by James and Kim Pelletier. Over...
