Join us on this road-trip edition of the Apostolic Children’s Ministry Podcast, recorded while our family is on vacation in Branson, Missouri! We’re sharing behind-the-scenes bloopers, victories from Neosho and Rialto, and a lesson from deep sea fishing about why things not being perfect can actually make us successful. Plus, we dive into an object lesson on the Parable of the Sower, unpack the thought-provoking topic and share why kids deserve our very best every week.

This week on the Apostolic Children’s Ministry Podcast, Phillip and Trystan Booker recap a Sunday full of wins, fails, and surprises, from forgotten crafts and awkward balloon games to neat moments in children’s ministry and a more.

You'll hear a fishing analogy about how more success brings more opposition, an object lesson using a 200-foot rope, and a challenge to be present in your ministry, not just busy.

If you're ever tempted to give up when things go sideways, this episode will remind you: sometimes the blooper is the blessing.

Join Phillip and Trystan as they look back on a classic summer Sunday full of funny, good, and everything-in-between moments. You’ll hear about a superhero identity crisis (thanks, kid in the back), a catastrophic shortage of Sunday School dollars and a victory moments as well.

This week’s fishing story is about needing more “galley workers” who jump in where it counts.

You’ll also hear a dad joke, about an object lesson, a reality check on perception versus what’s real, an incredible testimony that replaced our usual notebook thought and more!

Oh, and we’re launching the Apostolic Kids YouTube channel! Weekly videos, fun content, and Apostolic truth—dropping every Saturday at 8:00 a.m. PST. Don’t miss it!

We’re not experts, but we are passionate about kids' ministry. In this episode, we chat about Junior Camp, preview an exciting new Apostolic Kids resource, and share one of the most chaotic bloopers in Superclass history (spoiler: it involves a tornado siren and a full classroom panic).

We also celebrate some incredible wins, including a no-cry toddler class miracle, and share a fishin’ story that just might help you stop overthinking and start doing.

From magnetic object lessons and deep thoughts on God’s plan before creation, to a challenge for every children’s worker: don’t settle—stretch.

Also… don’t let Riley near the soundboard.

In this episode of Apostolic Children’s Ministry, Phillip is joined by Bro. Bob Lee. From blooper-filled classroom moments and object lessons to altar calls and personal ministry insights, this episode has a lot going on. You’ll hear why preparation makes all the difference, how a teabag can preach Acts 2:38, and what happens when you try to sip from two cups at once.

The episode wraps with a thought-provoking deep dive on the danger of mass-producing ministry. Whether you’re new to Sunday School or a seasoned teacher, this is your reminder to keep your lessons fresh, your heart full, and your calling personal. Handmade moments still matter.
