About this listen

In this episode of the Amazing Kids Ministry Podcast, worship leader and long–time church mom Rita Springer sits down with Tyler to talk about staying in love with the church even when it’s messy and imperfect. Rita shares why she still believes the local church is breathtakingly beautiful – even with all the flaws and mess that come with it.

This is not a conversation about crafts and curriculum. It’s about the inner life of the kids pastor, volunteer, and ministry leader who secretly wonders:

“Why hasn’t God done what He promised?”

“Can I be this disappointed and still lead kids?”

“Does God see me serving in this hallway where no one else notices?”
