If you're a children's pastor feeling alone, overwhelmed, or questioning whether you can keep going, Ryan and Beth Frank want to meet you at The KidzMatter Conference. This conversation isn't just about breakout sessions (though there are 170+ of those). It's about sacred space. It's about discovering that you are not alone. It's about hearing God's voice again. And it's about figuring out the one next right thing you need to do, instead of drowning in all the "nexts."

In this episode, you'll hear why this year's conference theme—rooted in Psalm 78:4—is designed for you, and why creators and first-time attendees often leave saying, "That changed my life."
