The Program Pyramid
Archeologists have discovered a document once thought lost forever in the archives of the Kidologist's vast children's ministry vault!  Could this handwritten note reveal a ministry strategy that could revolutionize your ministry today?

Dating circa 1993, Karl Bastian was just a rookie children's pastor at the historic Moody Church in downtown Chicago - and yet, this  strategy has been guiding his ministry for over twenty years.

Once guarded as a valuable treasure and only shared with the most trusted colleagues, Karl has now revealed its secrets on his podcast. Will clues within this ancient drawing lead you to gold or a "National Treasure"? Or will it simply make your ministry programing and event planning more purposeful?

You be the judge. Listen to Kidmin Talk #53 today... and download the full resolution historical document for yourself!

Save $20 on EKG's Full Throttle Curriculum  
EKG Full ThrottleGod said in Jeremiah 29:13 that if we seek Him, we will find Him when we seek Him with all of our heart.

In today's culture, we like going fast. If we want something, we go after it. Many adults like fast cars, fast motorcycles, and fast planes.

Kids like fast bikes, toys with speed, and video games that push the limit. Just as we like to go full speed ahead, we need to pursue God with all that we have and not hold back.

This 6-week Full Throttle series from EKG will teach kids how to have a pursuit of God that is full-throttle.  For a limited time only, SAVE $20 off the regular price of $69.

Love with Actions, Not Just Words - DiscipleTown
"How to Love God"Put love into action with our new How to Love God unit, the latest DiscipleTown Kid's Church curriculum from Karl Bastian and DiscipleLand.

When Jesus was asked to identify God's greatest commandment, He answered, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength" (Mark 12:30). But what does this truly mean? What does it look like?

Too often we give children "pie-in-the-sky" platitudes but without supplying practical steps they can apply in everyday life.

This unit will help your children know what it means to love God with actions - not just words. Your kids will discover how to love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. They will also learn that loving God involves loving other people, too.
