Josh Holdeman

I always knew if I wanted to grow my ministry, I had to grow personally, but I wasn't sure how to do that. After trying to do it on my own by reading books and listening to podcasts, I found that I wasn't able to sustain it. Before Hydrate, it was difficult for me to measure my personal learning and growth, but now I have a track to run on and a way to strategically cultivate growth in myself and my ministry.

I absolutely love Hydrate and sharing what I've learned with my pastors. There's always something new and exciting to learn from your team! You guys have done an amazing job with the videos and the worksheets. And thanks to Hydrate Huddles, I have made connections with other children's pastors.

I have been involved in Kids Ministry for 23 years and a Kids Pastor for 13 years. Hydrate has challenged me in areas that were much needed when you have been doing things for a long time. I have been receiving resources for fresh ideas, new fun tips, and practical "how to" application for areas I needed help with. I highly recommend this course and will continue to be part of Hydrate for as long as it is here. This is year 2 for me and I am loving it even more!

Hydrate has been an awesome development tool in my role as a kidmin leader! Here’s a few examples...

  • It has confirmed and encouraged me in the things I’m already doing right! Yay!!
  • Hydrate has given me insight into the details that go into children’s ministry and shows me ideas in how I can incorporate them at my church.
  • The trainings have pushed me to get bold and brave in the areas I was uncomfortable in, such as recruiting, casting vision.

Hydrate has allowed me to learn and grow as a leader and kids pastor. I appreciate the accountability that has come with this process, the relationships that are developing in our Huddle group and the information that is easy to understand and apply. I look at the Huddle groups as opportunities to connect with other leaders, to learn together and to encourage one another.
