REVOLUTION - (noun) - a radical and pervasive complete change in something. Of course, you already knew the definition. After all, you're a Holy Spirit revolutionary, one to be counted with those across our land that will settle for nothing less than a Joel 2 Generation, one willing to make whatever changes that are needed to see this manifest in your boys and girls. With that in mind, let's look at the next insight necessary to usher in this move of God's Spirit. I will say this upfront ... a revolution is not for the faint of heart. Leaving behind the comfort and security of "it's always...

In this blog series' logo, I posted "Settling For Nothing Less Than a Joel 2 Generation". I am convinced that is why you are staring at a computer or smart device screen right now.

God revealed His heart for boys and girls when He spoke through the prophet Joel and declared, "I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.

They aren't satisfied with anything less than a Joel 2 Generation! Many are recognizing that today's ways of doing children's ministry aren't bringing about these results and are calling for a Children's Ministry Revolution, a revolution to bring about a change.
