Last fall my church’s senior leaders introduced the staff to the book “The Externally Focused Church” by Rick Rusaw and Eric Swanson. Over the summer I’ve been thinking about how to apply some of those principles to children’s ministry.

As I prepare for the fall, I’m reviewing a document that I go back to often titled “Busting Barriers and Mindset Changes.” I’ll share some of that document with you because that’s what I am, a sharing kind of guy.
