From a camp prank involving a fake bear attack that sent students into full panic mode, to a youth pastor accidentally traumatizing an entire Christmas caroling group, to one student learning the hard way why hot pepper challenges come with very specific safety precautions… this episode somehow keeps getting worse in the best possible way. Plus, a sermon illustration goes horribly wrong, a leader accidentally creates the most uncomfortable parent meeting imaginable, and one camp director gets blindsided by a newlywed couple with very unexpected news…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

227: Response Rate: Zero (Cole Clark & John Cuomo)
Visit https://go.grace.edu/YGC, fill out the form, and they’ll send you a starter box of Grace merch and info, including a gift for the youth pastor.This week, Sam is joined by Cole Clark and John Cuomo for an episode packed with the kind of youth group stories you truly couldn’t script—even if you tried. From a chaotic game of Mafia that takes an unexpected romantic turn, to a service moment that goes completely off the rails, the stories just keep escalating. There’s a well-meaning student sermon that derails an altar call, a camp tradition that comes back in the most unfortunate way, and a mission trip decision that would never fly today. Along the way, Cole shares a personal story about finances that hits a little too close to home, while John helps process the absurdity of it all. It’s equal parts hilarious, uncomfortable, and wildly unforgettable—basically everything you’d expect when youth ministry stories go off script.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

226: Gentle Parenting, Controversial Takes and Prison Debates | After Hours Series (Sha Racks, Ciara Moss & Cole Clark)
In this After Hours bonus episode, Sam is joined by Sha, Ciara and Cole for a chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly thoughtful conversation you didn’t know you needed. From bold personal hot takes to debating what actually counts as a “sheltered life,” nothing is off limits. The crew imagines future YGC guests, guesses what people would assume Sam went to jail for (it gets wild), and settles the ultimate nostalgia battle: Club Penguin vs. Webkinz. They also share their favorite piece of fan mail, drop their number one tip for starting a youth group, confess their weirdest favorite food combos, and dive into their honest thoughts on gentle parenting. It’s unfiltered, unpredictable, and packed with laughs from start to finish.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From a windy roadside stop that goes horribly wrong, to a youth group game that gets a little too intense, to a camp mystery involving a hole in the cabin wall that people definitely shouldn’t have messed with, the chaos keeps stacking. Throw in an Easter production that doesn’t go according to plan, a live mic moment that should’ve stayed private, and a ski trip that puts everyone in an unexpectedly awkward situation, and this episode just keeps getting more unhinged by the minute…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From a youth group accidentally inserting themselves into a situation they absolutely didn’t understand, to a camp incident that led to a shocking discovery in a church parking lot, to a Navy listener having the worst possible public listening experience, the chaos doesn’t let up. Add in a student sermon that goes completely off the rails, a lock-in snack situation that turns your stomach, and a prank call that goes from funny to regrettable in seconds, and you’ve got an episode that keeps escalating in the best (and worst) ways…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

223: 4,000 Problems (John Scarborough & Mackenzie Smolin)
This week, Sam is joined by John Scarborough and Mackenzie Smolin for an episode that spirals from chaotic camp pranks to stories that should’ve never made it past someone’s first idea, including one youth pastor who took revenge way too far and created a situation involving thousands of unexpected “guests” that no one in the cabin was prepared for… Along the way, a harmless flashlight game turns into full-blown survival mode, a summer prank instantly backfires in the worst possible way, a water park lunch decision leads to a moment of instant regret, and a late-night camp scare sends an entire group into panic over something that wasn’t what it seemed… It’s one of those episodes where every story somehow escalates past the last, and you realize way too late that it probably could’ve all been avoided…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

222: The Silent Struggle (Cole Clark and George Johnson)
In this episode, Sam is joined by Cole Clark and George Johnson for a lineup of stories that somehow keep escalating in chaos, with one particularly heavy moment at the center that sets the tone for everything else. What starts with a seemingly harmless church event quickly spirals into a frozen disaster no one saw coming, while a youth trip fireworks show takes a turn that nearly ends in catastrophe. There’s a bizarre medical situation at camp that had been quietly building all week, a story of ignored warnings that leads to devastating consequences, and a chain of events involving food poisoning that somehow turns into one of the strangest moments ever witnessed in a chapel. Add in a hotel stay with unexpected dangers, a nursing home visit that takes an awkward turn, and a speaker who probably shouldn’t have been trusted with props, and you get an episode that swings from hilarious to unsettling without ever letting up…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

221: Questions, Games, and Open Mics | After Hours Series (Micah, Zay, Sha & Buddy)
Sam jumps on a chaotic After Hours Zoom call with Micah, Zay, Buddy, Sha and a bunch of YGC fans where nothing is off limits—diving into behind-the-scenes moments from the podcast, how stories actually make the cut, ministry advice, and plenty of unfiltered fan interaction along the way. The crew swaps stories, reacts in real time, and leans into the kind of conversations that definitely wouldn’t make it to a normal episode, all while keeping the energy loose, unpredictable, and exactly what you’d expect from a late-night call with the YGC community…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
