Ex-Youth Pastors Podcast

Drewtron 2000 has been unplugged, and the real Drew is back with us. We play a game where we poorly describe movie plots and have the other person try to guess (someone played this game wrong the whole time, but you’ll have to listen to the episode to guess who). There is a Facebook Live clip of a worship band singing Roar by Katy Perry in the middle of a worship gathering. Finally, we have an interview with Eric Young, a current youth pastor of 8 years who is training youth ministries in discipleship in NW Washington, who once pulled a gun on a student.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if we transferred Drew’s consciousness to a robot? Well wonder no more. Dealing with the flu this week, we decided to have Drew speak through a digital translator. So what you hear on the podcast is thought up and typed by Drew, but voiced by the computer. Be warned, there is a lot more giggling in this episode than normal.
