Be More Like Kids! - Karl Bastian Podcast #225

What if the biggest barrier to reaching kids… is that we’re not speaking their language?
In Episode 225, Be More Like Kids!, Karl shares a powerful perspective shift: children’s ministry is cross-cultural ministry. Just like a missionary learns the customs, language, and culture of the people they’re trying to reach, effective children’s leaders must step into the world of kids.
Through personal stories, biblical insight, and practical challenges, Karl explores what Jesus meant when He said we must “become like little children” (Matthew 18:3)—and how that’s very different from being childish.
You’ll discover:
- Why understanding kid culture is essential for effective ministry
- How Paul’s “become all things” strategy applies to children’s ministry
- The difference between being childlike and childish
- Practical ways to connect with kids this week
If you want to build stronger relationships, communicate more effectively, and make a lasting spiritual impact—this episode will give you the mindset and tools to do it.
So grab some cereal, build some LEGO, and get ready…
It’s time to think like a missionary—and be more like kids!
