In episode 12 of the Kidmin Podcast, Kenny Conley dives into one of the most overlooked yet transformational tools for kids ministry leaders: conferences.

After creating a 2026 Kidmin Conference Guide, Kenny shares why conferences have played a massive role in his own growth over nearly three decades of ministry—and why they should be a priority for every leader. Whether you're serving full-time, part-time, or as a volunteer, conferences offer something that day-to-day ministry simply cannot: exposure to fresh ideas, leading voices, and proven strategies.

If you've ever wondered whether conferences are worth the time, money, or effort, this episode will challenge your thinking and help you see them as an essential investment in your development, your ministry, and your church.
