Stop Struggling with “Difficult Kids” in Your Ministry (Read This)

If you serve in kids ministry, this is your summer reading recommendation. In this video, I share a powerful book called Boundless Hope For Every Child by Kim Botto—a resource that challenges and equips us to love every child in our ministry, especially the ones who are hardest to love. We talk about: * Why kids ministry must be rooted in love * How trauma, neurodivergence, and disability impact behavior * Why our response as leaders matters more than we think * A second book recommendation: The Explosive Child Kids ministry isn’t just about great programming—it’s about forming lifelong faith in every child who walks through your doors. 📚 Books/People mentioned: * Boundless Hope For Every Child – Kim Botto * Kim Motto's Website: https://kimbotto.com/boundlesshope * The Explosive Child - (I'm working on reading this) Let’s grow together this summer so we can be better, healthier leaders when kids walk back into our rooms in the fall. #kidsministry #churchleaders #kidmin #discipleship ---------------------------------------- 🧭 CHAPTERS 00:00 – Why this book matters 00:35 – Meet Kim Botto 01:20 – What Boundless Hope is really about 02:10 – The truth about “difficult” kids 03:10 – What kids ministry should be 04:10 – Trauma, neurodivergence & love in ministry 05:10 – Kim Botto’s background 06:10 – A second book recommendation 07:10 – Summer challenge for leaders
