What People Are Saying

David Richards

When I first became a Kids’ Pastor, I had no resources, networks or any idea on how to grow myself as a leader. To have the Iron Series now is priceless. I would recommend every Kids’ Leader to make the investment into themselves. There’s no better resourcing tool that combines teaching, networking, and empowerment than the Hydrate Iron Series.

Just before I registered to be in Hydrate, I was struggling as a kids pastor. I was overwhelmed by what is going on in the world and struggling to keep up in a fast-paced growing church. I found myself questioning if I was even making a difference. Today, I know I am a better leader and pastor because of Hydrate. The ministry friendships and group dynamic that is created in the sessions provides you with peers who speak into you personally and reminds you that you’re not alone in this journey. I can’t recommend taking this course enough! It’s worth the financial and time investment and will not only change you, but those you lead. I’m better because of Hydrate!
