Sunnybrook Family Ministry Podcast: Recent Episodes
Sunnybrook Christian Church
A podcast of the Family Ministry Team at Sunnybrook Christian Church in Stillwater, Oklahoma dedicated to giving parents and volunteer leaders the tools and encouragement they need to disciple the next generation. Most of the discussions will center on our direct ministry context, but we hope others in different ministry contexts / churches might enjoy and benefit from them as well.
Kim, Drew, Morgan, and Jack share what they learned about child / teenage Mental Health at a recent conference.
During this edition of our podcast, Drew and Morgan talk about what the future weeks and months look like as your child promotes from Elevate to the Jr. High Ministry at Sunnybrook!
We're headed back to church May 17th! This coming Sunday, Sunnybrook will be having 4 services, with two of those being family services. During the podcast Drew Henderson, Zane Sutherlin, Jim Johnson, and Jeff and Joy Butler talk about the family service - the idea behind it and how we’d like to minister to families through this service each Sunday. We also discuss practical ideas on how to keep your young kids engaged throughout the service. We hope you enjoy this conversation!
During this episode, we talk with Nate Anderson, Austin Weece, and Justin Ebert about the positives, negatives, and frustrations of doing ministry with students in an "online only" context. Before we talk ministry, however, we have some fun breaking down the ESPN documentary the Last Dance which chronicles the 1997-1998 Chicago Bulls championship season. *If you want to get to the ministry content, fast forward to 19:20 if you want to skip the Last Dance breakdown.
Today, 3 professional educators sit down with Drew and talk about some of the different challenges they are facing as they homeschool their own children. Through our conversation with Dane Sallaska, Ginger Billman, and Jessica McKenzie we talk about not only the challenges for parents as they homeschool their kids, but also the great opportunity for Christian formation and discipleship that at home learning provides. We hope that you benefit from our conversation!
In this episode of the podcast, Drew, Morgan, and Justin discuss what they've been doing and how they're doing in the days of COVID-19. In our discussion it is our desire that your family would find hope knowing you aren't alone trying to live as disciples in this uncertain time.
Drew, Morgan, and Justin spend a few moments talking about what we are learning after moving student ministry activities online due to COVID-19. There have been some growing pains, but God has been teaching us some things along the way. Hopefully this will be an encouragement to parents and to all the adults who work with students in the Student Ministry Context.
