In this episode, we dive into the world of Divisional Music and Arts (DMAs)—monthly gatherings where young people come together to rehearse, fellowship, and grow in their faith. Joined by Kyle McElroy (DMD for the ALM Division) and Matt Broome (DMD for the Texas Division), we explore what DMAs are, who can be involved, and how they prepare kids and teens not only for concerts and youth councils but also for a lifetime of ministry. Discover how these rehearsals go beyond music, building community, shaping discipleship, and giving young people a safe place to use their gifts for God.
