In this episode, Todd talk with Dan Lovaglia of Slingshot group and author of the book "Relational Children's Ministry" about creating a children's ministry that focuses on relationships rather than programs. While this may sound obvious, Dan brings out new ways that we can begin to help our volunteers to win at creating relationships with kids and families.

Key Takeaways:

1. It is more important to show a child you care than it is to teach them a lesson.
2. Parents want a break and need to know that what they do is valued more than they need to know what they should do.
