Who is responsible? When kids' attendance numbers are down, senior leaders can tend to blame the kids' pastor.

But the truth is that the children's pastor has very little control over creating the necessary environment for reaching young families. The church's leadership and vision are big factors.

Before Tony Morgan's tragic passing in early September 2024, we had recorded the remaining podcast episodes in this series on "What It Really Takes To Reach Young Families." Tony was passionate about this topic and had so much practical wisdom to offer. We've decided to release the remaining episodes of this series over the next few weeks.

For Part 2, Tony and Amy had a conversation specifically about the aspects of ministry vision and leadership that are essential to the success or failure of kids' pastors in their roles.
