| 6/24/26 | ![]() 235: The Second Coming (Cory Asbury) | This week on Youth Group Chronicles, Sam is joined by Cory Asbury for one of the wildest church stories we've ever heard—a late-night encounter involving a mysterious "Jesus dude" that had an entire church unsure of what was going to happen next. Along the way, you'll hear about a lock-in interrupted by an unexpected visitor wandering through the church, a middle schooler's fiery attempt at improving a Pop-Tart, a camp speaker whose illustration brought actual police officers to the scene, a sleepwalking student who created absolute chaos on retreat, a youth game that nearly ended in arrests, and several other stories that prove youth ministry is never boring. From hilarious misunderstandings to moments that left leaders questioning everything, this episode is packed with the kind of unforgettable stories only youth ministry can produce.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. | — | ||||||
| 6/17/26 | ![]() 234: Trippin’ and Strippin’ (Sha Racks & George Johnson) | JohnCristComedy.com/tour, for tour dates and tickets.This week on Youth Group Chronicles, Sam is joined by Sha Racks and George Johnson for an episode full of youth ministry chaos, questionable field trips, and moments that went sideways fast. The main story follows a youth group trip that became unforgettable when one student secretly made a dangerous decision in the city and things quickly spiraled back at the hotel. The episode also includes a trash pickup outreach that turned terrifying, an icebreaker that ended in instant regret, a church mascot incident that went way too far, a summer camp injury no one saw coming, a Christmas party quote with the worst possible timing, and a youth leader’s idea of a “fun” field trip that left the entire group traumatized.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. | — | ||||||

| 2/25/26 | ![]() 214: Lost in Translation (Sha Racks & Buddy Jenkins) | This week on Youth Group Chronicles, Sam is joined by Sha Racks and Buddy Jenkins for an episode that spirals from awkward to unhinged in record time. What starts as a simple mission trip translation swap slowly unravels into a situation no one saw coming, forcing leaders to make a decision that could’ve had serious consequences at the border. From a construction zone accident that goes horribly wrong, to a worship hype moment that absolutely should’ve been rephrased, to a trench coat mystery that keeps everyone on edge, the chaos just keeps stacking up. There’s a lost child wandering out of the woods, a cabin prank that backfires in the worst possible way, and a camp lesson involving Icy Hot that no one will ever forget. It’s damage control, secondhand embarrassment, and questionable leadership decisions all packed into one episode…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. | — | ||||||
| 2/17/26 | ![]() 213: Closet Stimulation (John Scarborough & Mackenzie Smolin) | This week on Youth Group Chronicles, Sam is joined by John Scarborough and Mackenzie Smolin for an episode that somehow escalates from mildly awkward to completely unhinged in record time. A concerned mom follows suspicious laughter into an upstairs closet and discovers four boys conducting what might be the strangest science experiment youth group has ever seen. Elsewhere, a simple baptism mix-up turns into an accidental worship service scandal, a new women’s Bible study launches with an unfortunate acronym, and a well-intentioned wake-up prank goes horribly wrong. There’s also a prayer that almost took a very dark turn in front of an ambulance, a youth pastor forced into an unforgettable burial decision, a summer camp outbreak so intense it shut everything down, and a worship leader whose stage move ended in the ER. It’s chaotic, uncomfortable, and exactly the kind of stories you only hear after youth group ends…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. | — | ||||||
| 2/11/26 | ![]() 212: The Summer Camp Hostage (Cole Clark & George Johnson) | Sam is joined by Cole Clark and George Johnson for an episode that spirals straight into summer-camp chaos, led by a story that starts with a leader walking into a cabin to solve a problem and immediately realizing he has become the problem. From there, things only get wilder—near-disasters at the pool, well-meaning Bible knowledge shouted at the worst possible moment, a youth trip that goes sideways after midnight, a fishing lesson that turns into a biological hazard, and a sermon illustration that somehow ends with flashing lights and very real consequences. It’s a nonstop run of camp legends, bad decisions, and moments that felt funny later… but absolutely did not in the moment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. | — | ||||||
| 2/7/26 | ![]() 211: Rizz, Rap, and Random Phone Calls | After Hours Series (Sha Racks & Dustin Coe) | This After Hours bonus episode gets unhinged in the best way as Sam hangs with Sha and Dustin for a wide-ranging, no-rules conversation that somehow covers everything from Lord of the Rings vs. Star Wars debates to ranking the height and weight of podcast guests. Things take a turn when Taylor Ransom gets pulled into the chaos to settle whether blowing a shofar actually boosts your rizz, Dustin attempts rapping for the very first time, and the group dives into how you really know what your calling is. Add in a surprise phone call from YGC chaplain Tim Stearns, a breakdown of which YGC guests secretly serve on worship teams and what instruments they play, and a walk down memory lane with some all-time favorite YGC stories, and you’ve got a classic After Hours episode that spirals quickly and never recovers…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. | — | ||||||
