Why does children's ministry matter?

In this episode of The Great Commission Toolkit, Chase Williams discusses the importance of reaching, discipling, and investing in children during one of the most influential seasons of their lives.

Children's ministry is far more than babysitting or simply filling time while adults attend church. It is an opportunity to witness to lost children, disciple young believers, equip ministry workers, and help build a foundation that can impact families and churches for generations.

In this episode, you'll learn:

✅ Why children's ministry is a vital part of fulfilling the Great Commission

✅ The importance of reaching children with the gospel

✅ How children's ministry helps shape a child's worldview

✅ Why discipleship matters during the formative years

✅ How ministry leaders can train and develop future workers

✅ The difference between teaching curriculum and teaching children

✅ Practical encouragement for avoiding burnout and remembering your purpose

Whether you're a pastor, children's worker, Sunday School teacher, camp counselor, parent, or volunteer, this episode will encourage you to stay focused on what matters most.

Key Takeaway:

Remember your WHY.

• Witness to lost kids
• Hone in on discipleship
• Yield growth in ministry

Most Christians misunderstand when salvation is truly secure. Forget feeling saved or not. What does the Bible actually say about your eternal security? If you've ever doubted your salvation after a mistake, or know someone who has, the BIBLE is your essential guide to understanding God's promise of everlasting life.

In this eye-opening episode, Chase and Rachelle peel back the layers of theological confusion around assurance of salvation. They dive deep into scriptural truths that guarantee your salvation is forever. No matter what mistakes or sins you commit afterward. You'll discover how key verses like John 10:28-29, Ephesians 1:13, and John 1:12 clearly reveal that once you're saved, you are sealed with God’s Spirit and protected for eternity. They break down complex concepts like "sealed" and "eternal life" into simple, memorable illustrations, such as comparing God's promise to a king’s royal decree or a sealed wax insignia from biblical days.

You'll learn practical ways to teach kids and believers of all ages the unshakeable security they have in Christ. The hosts share effective Bible-based methods, using cross-referenced verses like Romans 10:13, John 3:16, and 1 John 5:13, that affirm salvation isn’t based on feelings, memory, or behavior but on God's unchanging Word. Whether you're a parent, a Sunday School teacher, or a new believer, you'll gain confidence in guiding others to understand that God's promise of eternal life is permanent.

Why does this matter? Because misunderstanding salvation leads to insecurity, constant doubt, and spiritual burnout. But grasping the biblical truth of eternal security transforms your spiritual life, freeing you from the fear of losing salvation and empowering you to grow and serve with confidence. It's a pivotal message for anyone seeking assurance in a world full of doubts and mixed messages.

This episode equips you with the definitive biblical answer to the most common questions about salvation: How long am I saved? Can I lose my salvation? What if I sin after I believe? And how can I teach these truths with clarity and conviction? If you're tired of uncertainty and ready to stand firm on God's Word, this episode will become a go-to resource in your faith journey.

Perfect for parents, teachers, pastors, and believers hungry for biblical clarity. This is your step-by-step guide to understanding and sharing the unshakeable security that Jesus Christ guarantees. Hit play now and transform doubt into confident assurance today.
