This week on Youth Group Chronicles, Sam is joined by John Scarborough and Dustin Coe for a collection of stories that prove middle schoolers are capable of almost anything. From a bizarre camp “sacrifice” that somehow went unchecked, to a youth group prank that spiraled much further than intended, to a longboard disaster during worship and a retreat bathroom mistake no one can ever unhear, this episode is packed with the kind of chaos only student ministry can produce. If you've ever worked with teenagers, survived a youth retreat, or wondered how some students make it to adulthood, this episode is for you.
