    Accidental Mentors, Intentional Impact

    Like what you’ve heard or have questions? Send us a message.. Mentorship isn’t a program. It’s a posture. Buckle up this is a long one...  In this episode, we talk about how mentorship comes naturally to children’s ministers. Long before we ever used the word “mentor,” we were already doing it week after week, altar call after altar call, conversation after conversation. We unpack why children’s ministry uniquely positions leaders to mentor hearts, not just manage classrooms. From modeling prayer and worship to shaping attitudes, discipline, and faith through everyday moments, mentorship is woven into the DNA of what we do. This conversation is for every children’s minister who’s ever thought, “I’m just teaching kids,” when in reality, you’re raising future leaders, guiding faith in its earliest stages, and planting seeds that will last a lifetime. If you’ve ever wondered why kids open up to you… Why they listen… Why they follow your example… This episode will remind you that mentorship is already in your hands. You’ve been walking in it all along. Click here for the APN Linktr.ee Support the show

    Looking Back in Thanks, Looking Forward in Faith

    Like what you’ve heard or have questions? Send us a message.. In this episode, we sat down and reflected on 2025 and all that God has done. We talked about the faithfulness of God throughout the year and highlighted several major victories, including the success of CMC, the impact of our Sunday School curriculum, and the growth we saw through our Future Leaders initiative. Each of these moments reminded us that when God orders the steps, fruit follows. We also looked ahead to 2026 and shared what we are believing for and preparing for in the coming year. This conversation is filled with vision, expectation, and faith as we discuss where God is leading us next and what we are trusting Him to do in the days ahead. If you are looking for encouragement, reflection, and a renewed sense of purpose going into a new season, this episode will speak to you. Support the show

    Season of Thanks: Miracles and Testimonies From Our Future Leaders

    Like what you’ve heard or have questions? Send us a message.. In this episode of the Apostolic Children’s Network Podcast, we sat down with our future leaders, kids who are not just growing up in the church but growing into powerful young disciples. With Thanksgiving only two weeks away, we asked them what they are grateful for, and the answers were nothing short of incredible. These kids opened up about miracles, provision, and the undeniable hand of God in their lives. Several of them even talked about going on 52 day fasts, something many adults struggle to commit to, and how God honored their sacrifice. From healings to breakthrough moments, their stories are living proof that God responds to the faith of children. This episode is a reminder that the next generation is not waiting until they are older to seek God. They are pursuing Him now, and He is meeting them in powerful ways. Be encouraged, be challenged, and let these young voices strengthen your faith as we move into this season of gratitude. Support the show

Not Even Close! will remind you that even the smallest start can lead to eternal impact, and that your ministry matters more than you realize. Support the show

    No Fluff, Just Generational Stuff

    Like what you’ve heard or have questions? Send us a message.. This episode was born out of a family reunion, where we discovered something powerful, our children are 7th generation Pentecostals. That realization sparked a deep conversation about what it really means to hand the truth down to the next generation. In today’s world, kids and young people aren’t interested in empty traditions or surface-level faith. They’re hungry for something genuine, something real, truth without fluff. Join us as we talk about the responsibility and privilege of passing down an authentic Apostolic faith, living it in a way that the next generation can not only inherit, but also experience for themselves.

    Hidden But Involved

    Like what you’ve heard or have questions? Send us a message.. This episode comes to you live from the open road—complete with car noise, bumps, and Siri constantly telling us when to turn left. (Don’t worry, we didn’t invite her as a guest… she just insists on joining in.) While it may not be the quietest recording studio, it actually sets the perfect scene for our conversation: serving from the background. Not every role gets the spotlight, microphone, or stage, but that doesn’t mean it’s not important. In fact, some of the most meaningful work happens quietly, behind the scenes, while we stay faithful and keep moving forward. Support the show

    Bruh where have y'all been?

    Like what you’ve heard or have questions? Send us a message.. What do Super Kids Church in Redlands, the Summit Conference in Pigeon Forge, a van that didn’t want to cooperate, a round of sickness, and yes, even a moth in someone’s ear have in common? They all showed up in our last five weeks of ministry. From hilarious mishaps to powerful altar moments, we share the victories, the battles, and how God can move even when things get a little… buggy. Support the show
