Kids Ministry Collective Podcast S3Ep9 Why Sunday Crashes Don’t Mean You Should Quit Kidmin

One of the things that I want to have this conversation tonight is the whole idea that there are too many leaders who are sprinting from season to season, from conference to conference, and they don't really understand why they're crashing all the time.

And part of that, as we'll get into this conversation, is they've never learned to have what I tend to call and what I teach it is called the GSP, the Godly Sustainable Pace.

Because there's a lot of talk in today's world about sustainable paces.

But this is one that reflects God's priority and God's calling and your identity, not based on what you do, because that's vocation.

And we've done episodes on that.

But this is about knowing who you are in Christ and understanding that everything I do, how I manage my time and my tasks, reflects God.

So there's the godly part.

But Jesus walked everywhere he went.

He didn't run.

He walked.

Sometimes he even waited for days before he walked.

You know, think of the story of Lazarus.

He waited.

Mm-hmm.

And so there, I really think Jesus modeled the, the walking marathon mindset.

Um, but he reflected a Godly sustainable pace.

He sustained that pace over all the years of his ministry.

And so I think that's where we want to dive into this whole idea.

And so I wanted to get your guys' thoughts and start the conversation off with some deep thoughts from a deep thinker.

Somebody has been studying this whole idea of leading.

And they came up with this idea of the key person dependency.

Something I hadn't heard, honestly, I've never heard of before exactly.

Yeah.

But it's this whole thing that when one leader's energy, presence, personal relationships is the thing that's holding it together, you're the glue holding everything together, then growth actually will stall and you'll lose momentum because the leader can't sustain the pace and the demand of all of that.

What do you guys think about that? As you look at the pace of ministry, you guys are both in it deep.
