In this heartfelt episode, we take a closer look at one of the most challenging yet vital parts of children’s ministry: discipline. But instead of just talking rules and consequences, we flip the lens and examine what discipline looks like when viewed through the eyes of mercy.

You’ll hear real talk about balancing structure with compassion, how to correct without crushing, and why some of the most disruptive kids may just be the ones God is reaching for the most.

We also dive into the powerful biblical story of Korah and his children, revealing how God's judgment fell on rebellion BUT His mercy spared a generation, and from that mercy came worshippers and psalmists who would pen some of the most beautiful Psalms in Scripture.

Along the way, we’ll explore:

  • Why discipline rooted in love reflects God's nature
  • How mercy can transform your classroom
  • Practical tips for correcting kids without shaming them
  • What it means to “make a difference” like Jude 1:22 says

Whether you’re a Sunday school teacher, kids minister, or just someone who works with children in any capacity, this episode will encourage you, challenge you, and equip you to lead like Jesus, with both truth and grace.
