CMC Jena, LA We Caught a Wake and a Word

In this episode of the Apostolic Children’s Network, we’re coming to you live from the road… literally. This episode was recorded in a van, somewhere between one children’s ministry stop and the next, fueled by snacks, stories, and zero professional studio equipment. So buckle up it's a long one.

We’re recapping the Children’s Ministry Conference in Jena, Louisiana, and let’s just say… We did not leave dry, no really.

Between powerful services, taking notes like we were back in school, and soaking in every session we could, we ended up on a pontoon in the bayou under clear skies with stars we forgot were even there, spotlight scanning the water for gators. Then one turn caught a wake and just like that, we got our feet wet in Louisiana..

But seriously, CMC was incredible.

We break down the sessions that challenged us, the lessons we’re already putting into practice, and the moments that reminded us why children’s ministry matters so much. There was vision. There was conviction and there was that kind of fire that follows you home and won’t let you sit still.

And we have to talk about the Ashleys.

They didn’t just host a conference. They adopted everybody. Within minutes, you felt like family. At this point it’s settled. They are everyone’s grandparents. The kind that love you, feed you, check on you, and make sure you’re good before you even realize you needed anything.

This episode is a mix of road noise, laughter, ministry talk, and a whole lot of appreciation for what God is doing through CMC.

If you were there, you’re about to relive it.
If you weren’t, you’re going to wish you were.

Next time, we’ll bring better microphones.

Maybe.

Probably not....
