About this episode

Cory Asbury joins Sam to share wild and hilarious stories from youth ministry, including unexpected visitors and chaotic events.

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.
