Every children’s ministry is feeding kids something.
The harder question is what—and in what proportions.
Most leaders don’t intentionally leave anything out. But without a clear way to evaluate discipleship, it’s easy to overfeed one area while unintentionally starving another.
That’s why we created the E.A.T. Assessment.
It’s a simple online tool designed to help you quickly see how your ministry naturally leans across the three core ingredients of discipleship:
- Education (knowing God’s Word)
- Application (living it out)
- Transformation (heart change through Jesus)
There’s no “pass” or “fail.”
No shame. No grading.
Just clarity.
In a few minutes, the assessment helps you name what you’re already doing well—and spot what might be unintentionally underfed. For many leaders, it becomes an “aha” moment that finally explains why certain things haven’t been sticking.
If you’ve ever thought, “Something feels off, but I can’t quite name it,” this is a great place to start.
And when you’re ready for solutions, read my new children’s ministry book, “Feeding Faith.” It’ll give you the clarity you need to move forward!
Bonus: If you’d like to read Feeding Faith together as a ministry team or book club, bulk pricing for 10 or more are available here.
