   Screens can make kids ministry easier, but when technology becomes the default, it can unintentionally crowd out opportunities for kids to talk, play, create, and build relationships. In this episode of Kids Ministry Answers, we’re talking about how to create kids ministry environments that rely less on screens and create more opportunities for play, creativity, curiosity, and connection. So we asked Tiffany and Jessica from WonderHere to join Linda and Jason to share practical ways to use technology intentionally while building environments where kids have room to wonder, create, build relationships, and grow in their faith. QUESTION: “How can we rely less on technology while creating more engaging and meaningful kids ministry environments?” ANSWER: In this episode, we’ll talk about how to... Focus on helping kids connect and grow instead of feeling pressure to constantly entertain them Use technology intentionally as a tool without allowing screens to become the majority of your programming Create more opportunities for kids to learn socially through play, creativity, exploration, conversation, and reflection Design welcoming environments that give kids more choice, agency, and space to build meaningful relationships Ask a Question: Have a kids ministry question you want us to talk about?

   027: How to Partner with Local Schools

   Churches often think about outreach in terms of how we can get people to come to us. But some of the best opportunities to serve our communities begin when we show up where people already are. In this episode of Kids Ministry Answers, we’re tackling a question about how churches can build meaningful partnerships with local schools. So we asked Sunny Brown to join Jason and Linda to share practical ways to listen to school leaders, meet real needs, build trust over time, and become the kind of church that consistently shows up to serve its community. QUESTION: “How can our church build a meaningful partnership with our local schools?” ANSWER: In this episode, we’ll talk about how to... Reframe school outreach by focusing on serving your community instead of promoting your church Build relationships with school leaders by listening first, following through, and earning trust over time Identify the needs schools actually have and find where those needs overlap with your church’s people, gifts, and resources Move beyond one-time outreach projects to create consistent, sustainable partnerships that serve schools for the long haul Ask a Question: Have a kids ministry question you want us to talk about?
