The Effective Ministry Podcast: #15

Neuroscience and Children's Ministry with Annemarie Rivers

Recent developments in the field of neuroscience and neuropsychology have given us a depth of understanding of children’s attention spans, focus levels, the interaction of emotions and learning, and the need for a warm environment. ⁠Annemarie Rivers⁠ joins ⁠Tim Beilharz⁠ to have a conversation about these topics and the implications for children’s ministry. How do these insights help us plan teaching times and create ministry environments that facilitate effective discipleship?
