We can all agree that our kids are important. We need to invest in them in order to help them become happy, healthy, and whole; helping them grow into their own God-given passions into adulthood.
No matter what size church we attend, the bottom line is kids need support. They need to be validated; listened to. They need to be taught truth in love. Show them that you care by being there. Engage with them through real relationship.
We were encouraged by our conversation with Matt and took a lot of notes! He is fun and energetic, and it was refreshing to hear his perspective on the importance of kid’s ministry — which is just as vital as adult ministry. He also opened up about health, family, and even…hair.
