Building Thriving Kids Ministry (Part 1 of 5): Why Kids Ministry Matters

Season 2 · Episode 1

Saturday, April 18, 2026 • Duration 36:53

What if the future of the Church depends on how we see children today?

In this first episode of Building Thriving Kids Ministry, Jo Hobbis sits down with Hannah Aske, founder of TenFour Ministries, to talk about a challenge many churches are quietly facing: where have all the children gone—and what can we do about it?

Hannah shares the story behind TenFour Ministries and the heart that led her to launch a movement focused on outreach children’s ministry. From seeing the realities facing children in schools and communities, to recognising the gap in how churches prioritise kids, she asks a bold question: What if children’s ministry isn’t optional—but essential to the mission of the Church?

You’ll hear:

Why outreach to children is often missing from church strategy
The surprising story of how Hannah started leading kids ministry at just 16
How churches can move beyond “just running a programme”
Why defining your “win” changes everything about how you lead
The powerful role young leaders can play in building a thriving ministry

If you’ve ever felt the weight of leading children’s ministry—or wondered how churches can reach the next generation more effectively—this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

Because building a thriving kids ministry doesn’t happen by accident.

Building Thriving Kids Ministry (Part 2 of 5): Why The Church Must Change

Season 2 · Episode 2

Saturday, April 18, 2026 • Duration 36:25

What if the biggest barrier to thriving kids ministry… is church culture?

In this episode of Building Thriving Kids Ministry, Jo Hobbis continues the conversation with Hannah Aske, founder of TenFour Ministries, about why the Church may need to rethink how it sees children.

Many churches say children matter. But do our priorities, structures, and attitudes actually reflect that?

Hannah shares what she’s learned from working with churches across the UK—why kids ministry is often undervalued, the cultural shifts needed for it to thrive, and how leaders can begin creating churches where children are genuinely welcomed, discipled, and celebrated.

If you care about the future of the Church, this conversation might challenge the way you think about children’s ministry.

Because thriving kids ministry isn’t just about better programmes.

It’s about a culture that believes children truly belong.
