Episode 75: How to Leverage Social Media For Kids Ministry with Madi Hackworth
Lauren Jackson is joined by Madi Hackworth of Madi Hax Creative.
Madi shares her journey in kids ministry and how she started providing creative resources for churches. She emphasizes the importance of creating visually appealing graphics and designs to attract and engage families. Madi believes that good design can make a lasting impression and help communicate the value and professionalism of a kids ministry. She also discusses the need for creativity in kids ministry and encourages leaders to start somewhere, even if they don't have all the skills or resources.
Madi's goal is to support and encourage church leaders through her creative work. The conversation explores the use of social media and creativity in kids ministry. The tension of utilizing social media is discussed, with the recognition that it can be both helpful and harmful. The importance of meeting people where they are, which is often on social media platforms, is emphasized.

      Hey Jen, this is just a thought, but why not have two check-in stations? Because of your unique situation, you may need to move check-in to where your parents are so that it is easier for them and less stressful for you.

    This is really helpful in how i might shift to making sure our focus is a gospel urgency. Not in the sense of "all of this rests on me" but just making sure we are focused on making sure kods and parents understand the gospel. I try to cultivate a relationship with my kid's parents by texting them to let them know when their child did something good. And I also encourage them if their kid did something not so good rhat it's not the end of the world.
