Have you ever felt like you can't stop the curve balls from coming? Are you a planner who is tired of having your plans, well, changed?

Today's conversation with KidzMatter Conference host Brandon Rushin and host Hannah Peckett Augustine is centered on staying flexible in ministry. The reality is that ministry changes faster than we'd like it to, and we are constantly being bombarded with new challenges, from volunteer cancellations to surprise church events. Learning how to navigate these changes with grace will give you greater confidence and patience with the people around you - and it will even open doors for God to use you in the midst of change.

In response to several posts in our I Love KidMin Facebook group, host Hannah Peckett Augustine and KidzMatter Founder Ryan Frank sit down for a conversation on this difficult and often painful topic. Our desire is that this conversation will encourage and equip you for any transition you face.
