Engage actively: Add interactive moments to your lesson (movement, response, or simple games) so kids stay engaged and retain more—and look for creative ways to involve kids directly in the storytelling. (See Chapter 9 of Feeding Faith.)

4. Our lessons intentionally use visuals, object lessons, and experiences that make God’s truth stick—helping kids see it, feel it, and remember it for a lifetime.
2

Pick one abstract truth in your upcoming lesson and turn it into something kids can see or touch—use a simple prop, image, or object that visually represents the key idea and hold it up as you teach. (See Chapter 10 of Feeding Faith.)

Evaluate your last few lessons and adjust the next one in the direction you’re deficient—either clearer teaching or deeper response. Consider a curriculum with better balance. (See Chapter 12 of Feeding Faith.)

8. Kids leave knowing one practical way to live out their faith in the coming week.

End each lesson with one specific, real-life action that kids can take this week. Not a general principle like “be kind,” but something concrete like “invite someone to sit with you at lunch.” (See Chapter 12 of Feeding Faith.)

9. Our ministry steps into hard family situations with compassion—showing kids what it looks like for the Church to walk with them through difficulty.

Action Plan:

Invite your leaders to identify one struggling child or family and take a simple step of relational support this month. Encourage them to share these stories with one another to normalize compassion within your team. (See Chapter 13 of Feeding Faith.)

10. Our small groups create a safe space where leaders listen well—allowing kids to ask ques- tions, express doubts, and talk honestly about how God’s truth applies to their lives.

This week, ask three open-ended questions and wait for kids to answer before you respond. (See Chapter 14 of Feeding Faith.)

Build in a Response Time—moments of prayer, journaling, artistic expression, or Bible reading—so kids have space to respond personally to what God is doing in their hearts. (See Chapter 17 of Feeding Faith.)

15. We help kids understand their identity in Christ so they see themselves the way God sees them.
2
Action Plan:

Choose one identity truth (loved, forgiven, child of God, never alone, etc.) and speak it aloud over the group every week—use the same phrase for a full month. (See Chapter 18 of Feeding Faith.)
