The Five Smooth Stones weekly podcast features an innovative, biblical look at Transformational Children’s Ministry. Join Daniel Watts the founder of Every Generation Ministries and forty-year children’s ministry worker and learn about a new way of thinking about and doing children’s ministry that leads to life change for boys and girls.
In this foundational episode of The Five Smooth Stones, we step back to see the full picture of transformational children’s ministry.
Just as David faced the giant with five smooth stones, God has given children’s ministry leaders five essential tools to help boys and girls face the spiritual giants of their generation: Relationship, Experience, Truth, Discussion, and Response.
Through a powerful real-life story from global ministry, we see how God uses the transformation of one child to bring change to an entire family—and eventually an entire church. This episode unpacks how these five biblical elements, rooted in Deuteronomy 6 and modeled by Jesus and Paul, work together to create lasting, disciple-making ministry.
When these stones are used together, ministry moves beyond programs and activities into life change that ripples outward for generations.
