Ben and Ryder kick off their new podcast about the ministry of Young Life called, "On the Frontier". Topics include vision for the podcast, hopes and dreams, and a few other introductory comments. In the ministry of Young Life, there are 1,000's, maybe millions of stories to be told, and we want to tell them. Think of this podcast as Cabin Time, but in your car, and on the record. We'll dream, ask tough questions, laugh, plan great adventure, and invite incredible guests from inside and outside of the mission. We hope to spawn great conversation and spark deep thinking regarding the greatest mission of all time, reaching out to kids who need God. This is, "On the Frontier". 

#001: Pilot

On The Frontier, hosted by Justin Ryder and Ben Battaglia, is a podcast about Young Life. We'll unpack the latest Young Life news, explore innovation and creativity around the mission, and learn from the stories of our guests.  Our hope is that this “cabin time on the record” inspires you, and is a hub for vulnerable, real conversation not just about Young Life, but all of life.

#040: A Steady Diet of Truth

Fil Anderson was and is a 'spiritual overachiever'. His journey lead him to discover the ’truest thing about him’ — while developing a contemplative spiritual life in the process. He sits down with Justin to talk about burnout, performance driven ministry, the beginning of his friendship with Brennan Manning, his favorite beach, and more. Journey with Fil at http://www.filanderson.com. 

#039: How a Cucumber Becomes a Pickle (ft Fil Anderson)

Ryder and Ben discuss podcasts they love, lessons they learned when deciding whether to come on Young Life staff or not (4:45), and most importantly, they interact with a “sneaky” survey that Ben planted all over a recent Young Life training he was at to find out what people really thought about their jobs (18:00). Its an unofficial engagement survey, and we discuss it On the Frontier.  Special thanks to our wonderful friends who answered their phone ;)

#038: If I'm Honest about My Job...

Ryder and Ben discuss mentoring and discipleship done with Radical Candor (a new book by Kim Scott). Next, Ryder sits down with a 40 year veteran of Young Life, Joe Belinko, to discuss how he coaches and mentors in lacrosse and life.  Who are you mentoring?  If someone were to ask, what would you teach them?  See you On The Frontier.
