Developing Leaders, Discipling Kids

Is there a difference in calling and assignment? What happens when your calling and current assignment don't seem to align? How do we overcome challenges and struggles associated with our pursuit of calling? Listen to this month's podcast featuring an interview with Kathryn H. Creasy, executive director of Leadership Development and Discipleship Ministries for the4 Church of God of Prophecy, as we discuss these questions and more.

DLIK Training Specialist Joy Hensley is interviewed on a variety of topics, including calling, influence, challenges in CM, and pursuing credentialing. 

Have you ever been driving and changed lanes only to hear the horn of another vehicle blast because you almost hit someone you didn’t see? That’s what happens when you check all of your mirrors but you don’t see someone sitting in your vehicle’s “blind spot.” As leaders, we can also have spiritual and emotional “blind spots” that may be dangerous. This class will examine some Biblical leaders who dealt with blind spots and offer practical ways we can avoid leadership accidents due to our own “blind spots.” 

The church is a loving place to belong where we learn about God's Word, fellowship with other believers, receive Christian care, and find opportunities to give and serve others in Jesus' name. As the Church of God of Prophecy (Official) prepares for "Membership Matters" month in September, how will your church engage children in this special initiative? Enjoy this panel discussion where we share about children and church membership, as well as debut supplemental resources for teaching children about the Church and what it means to be a "member." Panelists include Pastor Cherry Daniels, Pastor Jonathan Olavarria, State Bishop Phil Pruitt, and International Director Shaun McKinley.

As leaders in children’s ministry, there are times when we feel overwhelmed and isolated, like we’re fighting this battle alone.  How do we keep the discouragements from overcoming us?  How do we keep from “ministering” to the point of exhaustion – physically, mentally, or both- when we sometimes “are” out there on our own!  When we start to feel “burned out,” we need to get “F.I.R.E.D.  U.P.” instead!

Will we give our children the opportunity to “stand before the Lord” in intercession for nations, communities, families, individuals, and those dear to them?  Will we invite them to experience the authority and intimacy that comes when we come alongside the Father in intercession?  This podcast provides concrete ideas and resources to help you bring your children into the throne room of intercession

Studying Jesus’ teachings and interactions with children provides a powerful platform for reaching boys and girls.
