About this episode

This episode features Sam, Buddy, and Geo sharing increasingly bizarre youth ministry stories.

Visit https://grace.edu/landing-page/YGC , fill out the form, and they’ll send you a starter box of Grace merch and info, including a gift for the youth pastor. This week, Sam is joined by Buddy and Geo for stories that somehow keep getting weirder. A youth pastor spends an entire night guarding a cabin only for one student to sneak out the second he leaves, a game of hide-and-seek at camp turns into a full-blown search operation, a church festival costume goes horribly wrong, and a student’s shocking confession years later completely changes a story everyone thought they knew. Plus, a worship service comes to a screeching halt, a youth leader accidentally gets the police involved, and one winter retreat prank explains why certain rules have to exist in the first place. If you've ever wondered how youth ministry stories keep topping themselves, this episode is a pretty good example.
