Volunteer Schedules & Motivation - Episode 2

Описание: In episode 2 of the *Kidmin Podcast*, Kenny Conley and Nick Blevins dive into a topic every kids ministry leader wrestles with: *volunteer scheduling*.

From once-a-month rotations to complicated multi-week schedules, Kenny and Nick explore why the way we schedule volunteers may say more about our philosophy of ministry and discipleship than we realize. Drawing from real conversations at the Children’s Pastors Conference, they discuss the tension between making volunteering “easier” and creating the most effective discipleship environment for kids.

This episode isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about mindset, leadership conviction, and asking better questions that lead to healthier ministry long-term.

🎯 Topics include:

Weekly vs. monthly volunteer schedules
Why consistency matters for discipleship
The real reasons churches choose complex rotations
How attendance trends affect kids ministry strategy
A challenge for leaders heading into a new ministry year

If you’re a kids ministry leader who wants to build something healthier, stronger, and more sustainable—this conversation is for you.
