Today, Michael leaves us after a short conversation on humble brags and the double meaning of church songs, so we decided to bring in Drew’s old friend Danny Meyerend. Together, they dug up some old videos, tried to remember some lyrics, and talked about what it was like to be a pseudo youth pastor for three months. The episode closes with an interview with CURRENT youth pastor Darius Giles. We asked him about the most irresponsible thing he has ever done as a youth pastor, his answer had us in shock!

This week we jump right into our discussion, every youth pastors favorite subject: numbers. Should we be focused on numbers? Is a youth pastor really more successful if they have better attendance? When is a good time to talk about numbers with other youth pastors? We also find out how humble Michael is, and finish out with our Youth Pastor story of the week.

This week, we hear Michael’s falsetto voice, talk about some great Christian inventions, hear about Michael’s ‘borderline immoral’ jeans, and discuss whether or not youth camps and conferences are actually beneficial.

In this week’s episode, Drew plays a made-up game that we’re still trying to wrap our heads around and we talk about our infatuation with ‘Christian’ (air quotes there) athletes. Finally, Michael finishes with a story about when he totaled his youth pastors’ car.

We talk about youth pastor threats, broken bones, and whether or not teenagers are actually compelled to attend a youth gathering if a youth pastor tells them to do so on Instagram.
