Leaders in the church often talk about missional living. But how do we let this rp_Jana3-150x150.jpgplay out when it comes to our kids? Do we cast the vision of living missionally to the families in our churches?

It’s critical for KidMin leaders to lead their families in this calling from Jesus. We often relegate that sharing the gospel and serving our community is something that is left to adults. We also often make the assumption that missions refers to prayers and financial aid that we send to a foreign land. While these components are critical, we need to learn how to draw kids into establishing the habits of continually living under the call of the great commission.

In this podcast, we\’re chatting with Jana Magruder, who grew up as a PK (pastor kid) and now leads one of the largest children’s ministry organization in the world, Lifeway Kids. You\’ll hear us discuss the following…

  • Suggestions for churches to rethink ministry events and how to better connect with neighbors
  • The generational component of or our mission
  • Opportunities on the way for families to share their faith

Jana Magruder serves as the Director of Lifeway Kids. Jana brings a wealth of experience and passion for kids ministry, education, and curriculum writing. She and her husband, Michael, along with their three children attend Forest Hills Baptist Church where she teaches The Gospel Project to preteen girls.
