As Christians generally, and in children’s ministry in particular, we must be constantly learning in order to grow spiritually. One of the ways I do that is that I am an avid listener of podcasts. As a volunteer, my time can be limited, and I find that listening to podcasts is a great way to continue my spiritual growth while I am driving, or working, or walking or whatever else I might be doing.
The following are some of the ones I listen to. In case you’re curious, I listed them alphabetically by the last name of the first listed contributor – not necessarily in my order of preference.

EDITOR’S NOTE: After completing this article yesterday, Ministry-to-Children published the first installment of their new podcast in which Tony Kummer interviewed Amy Fenton Lee. You can find that podcast here. As of right now, I don’t believe the podcast is available on Itunes, but The podcast is now available on Itunes and it is also downloadable from the site. I hope that Tony continues with this podcast on a weekly basis as it will be a great addition to the Kidmin podcasting community!
LOVE THIS!!!!! Thank you so much!
We listen to alot of the same podcasts Wayne!
I also listen to:
Elevation Church-Steven Furtick
Brook Hills-David Platt

Faith Promise-Chris Stephens
Lifechurch.tv-Craig Groeschel
National Community Church-Mark Batterson
I also listen to Christine Caine’s podcast which is wonderful as well.
Wendy,
I have been meaning to check out Lifechurch.tv, and I’ve heard of most of these other guys. I will have to check some of them out. Unfortunately, I am just about at the limit of time for listening to them.
If I get behind these days, it’s hard to get caught back up.
This is great, Wayne! I listen to several of these, but there are others that I haven’t heard, but will def be checking into! I’ve got one for you, too! Pete Wilson at Crosspoint Church in Nashville. Amazing! Thanks for the list!!
Barbara,
Thanks. I definitely need to check out Pete Wilson. I’ve heard so many good things about him!
Great resources. I regularly listen to CM Talk and Children’s Ministry Monthly. I’ve only caught one of Tony’s so far, but it seems great!
