Kids Ministry Answers

Volunteers are the heart of your kids ministry — but celebrating them consistently (and creatively) can be tough. In this special crossover episode, Elle Campbell, co-founder of Stuff You Can Use, joins Linda and special co-host Damean Easter of the Youth Ministry Answers podcast to share practical and meaningful ways to appreciate your team all year long. You’ll learn how to celebrate volunteers for what they do and for who they are — without breaking your budget or burning yourself out. 

What We Cover:
  • How to celebrate volunteers annually, monthly, and weekly
  • Creative ideas that build culture (not just hype)
  • Why “boring but consistent” matters more than big gestures
