What if your kids worship time was doing far more than filling a slot in your service? In this episode, we sit down with Dylan Armes — kids worship songwriter, worship director at Springwell Church…
Dylan ArmsGuestTom BumpHostBenHostVickyHostColeHostYeah.
Well, what I love is seeing on your website how you say, you know, I believe kids were made to worship like the rest of us.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Yeah.
because I am tired of people just saying, oh, that's just kids' worship music.
And I'm just curious, when you look at that, when you look at the mentality sometimes in the church today, and you think about kids worship, what's the misconception you think that, and maybe that's part of it, that churches have when it comes to worship music? That's a good question.
I would say primarily, probably the biggest misconception would be that churches may think that kids worship is an opportunity to entertain kids and not disciple them.
You mentioned it a minute ago, scripture itself, when you can incorporate that into a song, it automatically becomes so sticky and easy to remember.
So the ways that we can use worship, and there's different purposes and different ways that you may use a worship song.
Maybe a second one might be the ability that kids have to worship the ability that they have.
They're learning everything about the world around them, you know, trying to comprehend everything.
how everything works to understanding the feelings and emotions that they have inside and how to communicate that.
But, um, but there's also a, a genuine sphere that they can connect in worship and, and I've seen that firsthand and they can connect with Jesus in a real way through, through songs and music.
Cool.
I love that.
So, Dylan, what would you say to a church then that they're maybe wanting more out of children's ministry worship, right? They're at a place where they're thinking...
We might need to do something, but we don't even have the vision.
Yeah.
