Kidmin Talk #213 - Kidmin Covenant #6 - Quick to Listen... Slow to Speak
In this episode of Kidmin Talk, Karl explores Kidmin Covenant #6: Character Counts, a convicting call for ministry leaders to lead with integrity, humility, and emotional maturity.
Anchored in James 1:19—“Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry”—Karl shares from personal experience how living this verse can protect your leadership, heal relationships, and reflect the heart of Jesus in a broken world.
Ministry isn’t just about what you do—it’s about how you do it. This episode challenges you to slow down, listen well, respond with grace, and model the very fruit of the Spirit we hope to cultivate in kids.
Karl also encourages listeners to use the Kidmin Covenant Reflective Journal to dig deeper, apply this principle, and become the kind of leader God can trust with His children.
