| 3/23/26 | BTE 5.14 Summers Off vs. Regular Programming: Part 1 with Tyler Lane and Brittany Shoemake | Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us! Summer doesn’t just disrupt student schedules, it disrupts your ministry’s rhythm. And when families are already juggling travel, sports, camps, and changing routines, adding a calendar full of one off events and long breaks can quietly drain momentum. We wrestle with a simple question: if Wednesday night is the one predictable thing you can offer, why would you remove it? Tyler Lane, next gen pastor at Valley Real Life in Spokane, shares how ... | 1h 15m 58s | ||||||
| 3/2/26 | BTE 5.13 Phones on Trips vs. No Phones on Trips: Part 2 with Matt Stevens and Korey Klein | Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us! Confiscate every phone or teach teens how to use them well? We invite Matt Stevens from Calvary Christian Church in Omaha to unpack a wiser middle path that keeps safety high, communication clear, and discipleship at the center. Matt walks us through how his team uses a shared channel to coordinate hundreds of students on campus, why parents relax when there’s a direct line to their kids, and how simple expectations—phones away in session, focu... | 1h 24m 33s | ||||||
| 2/16/26 | BTE 5.12 Phones on Trips vs. No Phones on Trips: Part 1 with Matt Tibbit and Caleb DeRoin | Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us! What if a single boundary could transform your next youth trip? We sit down with Arkansas youth pastor Matt Tibbit, who has led students for 20 years without allowing phones at camp. His reasoning is simple and sharp: protect attention, protect safety, and give students a rare chance to belong without the pull of a screen. Matt walks us through the practical side—how his team handles parent communication using leader phones, why bright ID brace... | 1h 12m 01s | ||||||
| 2/2/26 | BTE 5.11 Tried and True Programming vs. Something New: Part 2 with Tyler Hensley and Katelyn Adams | Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us! When the Spirit nudges your ministry to change, do you add another program—or clear the calendar and listen? We sit down with student pastor Tyler Hensley from Forum Christian Church to unpack a bold move: cutting Sunday class so students worship with the whole church and step into meaningful serving roles. It wasn’t easy, especially after COVID, but the long-term fruit is clear—deeper intergenerational ties, a thriving midweek, and students wh... | 1h 05m 19s | ||||||
| 1/19/26 | BTE 5.10 Tried and True Programming vs. Something New: Part 1 with Jon Lee and Padon Murdock | Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us! Big rooms light up when students feel seen, safe, and invited to play a real part—on stage, on screen, and in their small groups. We open with CIY’s interactive team and how they’re hijacking Unreal Engine to turn LED walls into living sets, sync visuals with stage moments, and run games that respond to what’s actually happening in the room. It’s not spectacle for spectacle’s sake; it’s a toolkit that supports hosts, speakers, and students with... | 1h 11m 57s | ||||||
| 1/5/26 | BTE 5.09 State of the Union with Jayson French | Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us! A new year deserves a new blueprint. We’re opening 2026 with a clear shift in youth ministry: equip students to share their faith with gentleness and respect, then walk with them through a real follow‑through plan that turns moments into movement. Jayson French joins us to unpack how CIY is doubling down on training, pairing students with mentors, and setting a focused 45‑day window so testimonies actually get told and gospel conversations get ... | 1h 07m 09s | ||||||
| 12/15/25 | BTE 5.08 Middle and High School Separate vs. Together: Part 2 with Trevor Sill and Brittany Shoemake | Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us! We explore why Trevor Sill at The Bridge Christian Church combines junior high and high school and how they rebuilt midweek around one big night and weekly small groups. Trevor shares wins, missteps, and the practices that turned constraints into a discipleship advantage. • Reasons for combining ages including space, staffing, family rhythm • One big night monthly plus weekly small groups structure • High schoolers as culture carriers and ment... | 1h 06m 40s | ||||||
| 12/1/25 | BTE 5.07 Middle and High School Separate vs. Together: Part 1 with Michelle Kruse and Rob Watson | Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us! A cupcake caper, an Unreal-powered mansion, and a question every youth leader wrestles with: should we separate junior high and high school? We sit down with student pastor Michelle Kruse from Summit Christian Church to unpack how age-intentional programming can transform engagement without requiring a bigger building or a bigger budget. Michelle walks us through their midweek system that alternates middle school and high school in the same spa... | 1h 15m 19s | ||||||
| 11/17/25 | BTE 5.06 Buying Curriculum vs. Writing Your Own: Part 2 with Mike Branton and Patrick Snow | Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us! What if the fastest way to deeper impact isn’t writing more, but freeing leaders to be with people? We pull back the curtain on our content process and share why we’ve built a central writing model that serves multiple campuses while giving local teams room to adapt. Our north star this summer is Ephesians and the identity of a “kingdom worker”—loved, rescued, changed, and sent. That sending isn’t theoretical: we’re equipping students to share ... | 1h 09m 21s | ||||||

What if the fastest route to a healthier youth ministry isn’t writing more, but shepherding more? We sit down with Anne Wilson, Next Gen Pastor at Traders Point Christian Church, to learn the value of buying curriculum, then spending your reclaimed hours pastoring students and training volunteers. Anne shares a practical, month-ahead workflow for taking a solid, gospel-centered series from download to stage—assigning a rotating editor, contextu... | 1h 05m 07s | ||||||
| 10/20/25 | BTE 5.04 Prioritizing Student-Only Spaces vs. Integrating Students in "Big Church": Part 2 with Jordan Francis and Korey Klein | Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us! A freshman gets baptized by his friends. A mom weeps because her child—wounded by past violence—finally steps out to a church event. Teenagers run cameras, lead songs, read Scripture, and help with communion. The thread tying it together is simple and bold: there’s no junior Holy Spirit, and students don’t need a separate church—they need a real place in the church. We sit down with Jordan Francis of Reframe Youth to unpack why intergeneration... | 56m 55s | ||||||

Want teens to feel seen, speak up, and stick around? We dig into the power of student-only spaces with Family Ministries pastor Tito Lozano and uncover how comfort, agency, and relationship-driven environments lead to deeper faith and smoother integration into the wider church. Tito walks us through a simple but game-changing redesign—turning a stage into a lounge with couches and beanbags—and how that shift invited vulnerability and richer sma... | 57m 01s | ||||||
| 9/22/25 | BTE5.02 Topical vs. Exegetical: Part 2 with Jeremy Stevenson and Caleb DeRoin | Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us! What if the most powerful way to reach today's youth isn't through carefully crafted topical messages, but through teaching them to dig into Scripture verse by verse? Jeremy Stevenson, formations pastor at Christ Church in Jacksonville, believes we're facing a generation hungry for authenticity—one that needs skills to engage with God's Word directly rather than depending on a youth pastor's clever packaging. In this thought-provoking conversa... | 1h 00m 15s | ||||||

DJ Rodeffer, Youth Director at Collective Church in Frederick, Maryland, makes a compelling case for topical teaching in this thought-provoking conversation. Speaking from his experience in one of America's most unchurched regions, DJ explains why topical teaching creates powerful entry points for students who've been burned by the church or have no religious background w... | 1h 08m 09s | ||||||

What if the key to extraordinary youth ministry growth isn't flashy programming but something far more fundamental? In this conversation, Mike Branton shares how Sun Valley Community Church transformed their student ministry by focusing on relationships, staff retention, and intentional leadership development – resulting in over 300% growth in just four years. Mike reveals the counterintuitive approach that set them apart: rather than pushing ... | 1h 12m 18s | ||||||
