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.
