Unbridled is a 3-day retreat for female children's pastors, taking place in central Ohio from May 18-20, 2009. It also only has 6 slots available.

Movie Review: Bedtime Stories
"This is a Disney movie, but it is an Adam Sandler movie," notes Kidology CP Team member Nancy Keith in her review of Bedtime Stories. "Marry the two and you get a funny, yet slightly crude movie that teaches more bad lessons than good... but in a good-natured way."

"As CP's we are on a different plane. We are looking for ways to uplift and teach. Spiritually, we are on a very different page. While I enjoyed this movie and laughed along with it, part of me kept saying, 'Why did you have to...?'"

"This is not a movie for the younger set. For the older set, have fun, but get ready to undo all the don'ts that you see after the movie."

As with all Kidology movie reviews, we provide children's ministry-oriented teaching tools such as an overview, areas of concern, teachable themes with scripture, and discussion questions.

Taste of Training: Kid-Focused Ministry Foundations
For those of you who haven't yet experienced Kidology Online Training, we wanted to give you a limited-time "taste" of that experience. Here's a 6-minute excerpt from the Leadership Lab #3: Kid-Focused Ministry Foundations video:



This Lab provides a face-to-face learning experience with instructor Karl Bastian and challenges you to take a serious look at the foundation of your children's ministry. At a time when creating a "fun ministry" has almost become the ultimate pursuit, walk through a hard-hitting analysis of where your focus should be.

Movie Review: The Tale of Despereaux
"The Tale of Despereaux is a movie based on the book, The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread written by Kate DiCamillo, which won the Newbery Medal in 2004."

Kidology CP Team member Nancy Keith notes in her review of this film that "if you know anything about heroes you know that a hero doesn’t appear until the world really needs one

"This would be a wonderful movie just on the merits of that story, but deeper, this is a story that teaches about forgiveness. In fact, it characterizes asking for forgiveness as a noble quest
