Last week, I had the privilege of being interviewed by Tom Bump of the Kid’s Ministry Collective Podcast. We had a conversation ranging from building spiritual rhythms at home to leading in family ministry.
Tom is a long-time children’s ministry leader, genuine listener, friend and ministry coach. You can check out his website here.

Kids Ministry Collective S2 Ep37- Kids in Big Church: Which Model Is Right for You? – Kids Ministry Collective
Should kids be in the main worship service — or not? It's one of the most emotionally charged questions in kids ministry, and the KMC Collective team is diving in headfirst.
In this episode, Tom, Cole, Ben, and Vickie unpack the real conversation happening inside the Kids Ministry Collective Facebook group around kids in big church — and they're not here to hand you one right answer. Because honestly? There isn't one.
The team walks through the three primary models churches use — full kids church, kids in the entire service, and the hybrid dismissal model — and explores the honest benefits and real challenges of each. From the powerful discipleship moment of a parent worshiping beside their child, to the logistical chaos of safely dismissing kids mid-service, no stone is left unturned.
