Today I'm joined by Bro. Kyle and we're talking about the process.

In the relentless pursuit of ambitious targets, leaders often fall into the trap of goal obsession—fixating on outcomes while neglecting the fundamental systems that create those outcomes. This approach, while seemingly logical, frequently leads to short-term thinking, unsustainable practices, and ultimately, inconsistent results. The most effective leaders understand a counterintuitive truth: sustainable success comes not from chasing goals, but from designing and committing to the right processes.

Some of the things we try to cover:

1. Reverse Engineer Your Vision into Daily Actions
2. Have Systems that Don't Depend on Motivation
3. Measure Discipline, Not Just Outcomes
4. Refine the Process

Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron, and we're discussing the Michelin Star Rating and how some of the same criteria can also apply to Sunday school.

The Michelin Star is a prestigious award given to restaurants by the Michelin Guide, a widely recognized and respected culinary guide. It signifies exceptional quality and is a symbol of excellence.

The Michelin Star is a highly sought-after award, signifying that the restaurant is among the best in its city or region.

In 1889, two brothers founded a tire company, and in 1900, they published a free guide for motorists that included maps, tire repair information, and restaurant recommendations.

By 1926, this was a paid guide, and Michelin Tire Company began awarding single stars to fine dining establishments.

In 1931, 3-star ratings were introduced: one star for “a very good restaurant”, two for “excellent cooking, worth a detour,” and three for “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey”.

In 1936, Michelin published the criteria for the star rankings:

1. High-quality ingredients
2. Mastery of flavor blending
3. Technique and skill
4. Chef’s personality
5. Consistency

We use the above criteria to discuss how this applies to children's ministry.

Today I'm joined by Bro. Myles and we're talking about the power of being focused in your children's ministry.

Focus is not simply about working harder or longer—it's about channeling collective energy, resources, and talent toward what matters most. Sunday school ministries that master the art of focus develop a cutting edge that compounds over time, creating momentum that makes them thrive. This focused approach transforms what may be a scattered script of silliness and fun into a laser focus on the altar service, ultimately transforming lives.

Some of the things we try to cover:

• Overstating
• Remove Dilution
• Consistency Builds Momentum
• There's Power in a Team
