As children's ministry leaders, we desire for the kids we get to lead to know everything there is to about their faith in Jesus. However, what if, in our efforts to help them grow in their knowledge of Christ we neglect to attend to the parts of them that make them whole person? In this breakout, we will unpack discipleship that nurtures the whole child. You will gain practical insight on how to incorporate emotional, social, and spiritual intelligence.
