Ex-Youth Pastors Podcast

Today we find out that Drew and Michael spend their time off doing the exact same thing: messing with scammers on Craigslist. Then we give a title to the different type of altar calls that are employed by pastors to end their gatherings. Finally, in our “Three Minutes With Someone Smarter Than We Are” segment, we ask Sam Cassese, a current youth pastor, how do youth pastors balance the tension between leading a growing ministry while still emphasizing the importance of community.

For those feeling nostalgic, we open with game where we try to guess that one hit wonder from the 90s, 00s, and 10s.
