Are you guys doing cohorts? I thought I saw something about it.

Yes! We’re launching new Kids and Students Ministry Cohorts—and we couldn’t be more excited.

We recently wrapped an incredible season with a group of youth pastors exploring what the future of student ministry looks like—how we’re impacting kids and teens in real life. Now, we’re opening that same opportunity for kids ministry leaders.

If you’re a kids pastor, student pastor, or anyone who loves to learn and grow, this is for you. Each cohort is a guided, relational learning community led by seasoned coaches like Jim Wideman (Kids) and Suzy Silk, a brilliant theologian based in New York (Students).

Over six months, you’ll meet virtually for live sessions filled with teaching, breakout discussions, and real collaboration. It’s two hours a month—but the relationships and growth will last far longer.

We believe leaders grow best in circles, not rows. So if you’re looking for coaching, community, and connection with people walking the same road you are, this is your next step.

What’s your favorite new Amazing Worship song?

Right now, it’s “New Thing Coming.”

It’s upbeat, full of faith, and completely captures what we want kids to feel when they worship—a declaration that God is doing something new. The lyrics speak to the kind of bold faith we want kids to carry: “Mountains, get up out my way.”

There’s something powerful about hearing kids sing that over their own lives. It’s more than a catchy song—it’s faith activation. And yes, it’s also a total bop. You can’t help but dance along in the car.

You’ll find “New Thing Coming” from Amazing Music on all major streaming platforms.

What are you going to do about the typos and errors since Amazing Life has taken over?

We hear you—and we take it seriously.

Excellence matters because trust matters. You should be able to open any resource from us and know it’s solid—biblically, grammatically, and practically. If you’re spending time fixing typos or reworking leader guides, that’s time taken away from what only you can do: pastoring kids and students.

So we’ve made real changes behind the scenes. We’ve built stronger systems and quality checks into our production process, added new layers of copy editing, and implemented a review workflow that catches issues before they ever reach you.

Our goal is simple: to give you content that’s trustworthy, ready to use, and freeing you up to focus on ministry.

Excited about Baby Curriculum! Could you talk about the perks of teaching that early of an age?

We love this question—and this initiative.

At first, baby curriculum might seem unexpected, but it’s deeply intentional. Scripture reminds us that “deep calls to deep” (Psalm 42:7). Even before a child can articulate faith, their spirit can be ministered to through love, worship, and the Word spoken over them.

That’s why we created Hello Baby—a gentle, 20-minute experience designed to bless both the child and the caregiver. It includes worship with simple motions (yes, even a little maraca shake!), a short and beautiful story of Jesus, and truths like “God made you” and “Jesus loves you.”

It’s developmentally tuned and theologically rich—a way to start shaping faith and belonging from the very beginning.

Are you getting rid of The So & So Show?

Absolutely not.

The So & So Show isn’t going anywhere—in fact, we’ve got big plans for it. Jon, Brandon, and Kellen have been working on something fresh and exciting, building on what everyone already loves about the show while deepening its connection to God’s Word and real-life application.

We’re refreshing it—not replacing it. Expect to see more creative storytelling, deeper reflection, and a mix of fun and heart that keeps kids engaged while reinforcing truth.

I heard there are some changes happening to the shows. What will that look like?

We’re entering a new era of storytelling across all our shows—Wonder, Story Lab, and The So & So Show.

For The So & So Show, Kellen will step into a greater hosting role, joined by Jon and Brandon, who remain an integral part of the experience. Each episode will now feature a slightly more reflective ending, where the story slows down to process the Bible lesson together—what God’s Word says and how it meets real life.

We’re also introducing new Bible story conventions and character-driven storytelling—what our team calls “painting with a red brush.” These characters will have real, relatable flaws, inviting kids to recognize themselves in the story and respond with humility, grace, and faith.

It’s storytelling designed to deepen engagement without losing the fun—and to make every Bible truth stick in the heart.

You said you’re adding characters. Does that mean there won’t be people in the videos?

Not at all.

We’re not replacing humans—we’re expanding the storytelling world.

The approach is inspired by shows like Sesame Street and The Muppets, where humans and characters share the screen, bringing energy, variety, and relatability.

• Wonder (Preschool): You’ll see more character-and-human interaction.
• Story Lab (Elementary): Mostly humans, with a few character moments woven in.
• The So & So Show (Preteen): A mix of familiar human hosts and new character-driven scenes.

The result? A storytelling format that’s more dynamic, emotionally resonant, and fun—while keeping biblical clarity at the center.
