The countdown is on! The Supernatural Children’s Ministry Summit 2026 is only weeks away, and there’s still time to be part of this unforgettable event. This year’s theme is Unstoppable: Raising Kids Who Stand Strong. SCMS 2026 is a gathering of Spirit-filled children’s ministry leaders, pastors, volunteers, and parents who refuse to settle for raising […]
It’s is critical that we not just talk about the Holy Spirit, but that we teach kids how to actually hear the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus got angry with the Pharisees many times, but I only see one time when he got angry with his disciples – when they pushed the children away from him. This tells me that thinking that children are not spiritual is ungodly. “One day, some parents brought their children to Jesus so that he could touch […]
We have some exciting news! Pastor Russell Johnson has accepted our invitation to be the keynote speaker at the Supernatural Children’s Ministry Summit. Pastor Russell Johnson is the Lead Pastor of The Pursuit NW, a rapidly growing multi-campus church in the Pacific Northwest. Russell planted The Pursuit with his wife, Marija, in 2014 with a vision […]
Pentecost Sunday is coming soon. Are you going to give your kids an opportunity to receive the Holy Spirit? Some people think getting kids filled with the Holy Spirit is complicated. I’ve seen many vague altar calls for the Holy Spirit. Many times, the speaker does not even teach about the Holy Spirit, but they […]
I’ve never really understood the name Vacation Bible School. The words “school” and “vacation” should NEVER be in the same sentence. When I hear “Vacation Bible School,” I think… summer school.

Go through the Bible, look up all the scriptures for pastors, shepherds, and elders, and do what they say – but do it for the kids. “Feed the flock of God which is among you.” 1 Peter 5:2 The first thing Peter tells pastors to do is to “feed the flock.” This is the primary […]
I wanted to share an incredible opportunity with you. I’ve been invited to speak at the Rhema Children and Youth Ministers Conference in Abuja, Nigeria, from April 30 – May 2, 2026. This conference is focused on equipping leaders to raise a generation of Spirit-filled children who walk in the power and purpose of the Holy Spirit. In addition […]
Pentecost Sunday is May 24th. I love Pentecost Sunday because it provides a great opportunity to teach kids about the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:17 says that God will pour out His Spirit on all people, including children, but that will not happen automatically. In fact, the vast majority of kids in the Pentecostal church have […]
Let me begin with a story, my story. I grew up in the church. I loved God and everything about God. When I was in seventh grade, I went up to receive the Holy Spirit. I went forward, but I left defeated. I did not speak in tongues that day. I felt so rejected and hurt […]
A few years ago, I asked a pastor friend, “What are you doing for Easter Sunday?” He said, “We don’t focus a lot on promoting Easter itself. We usually have a large crowd and lots of visitors. Instead, I focus on promoting the Sunday after Easter.” “That’s interesting,” I replied. “What do you do?” “I start a new series […]
