Ready to challenge your youth ministry assumptions? Season 5 of Beyond the Event returns with a fresh format designed to make you think deeply about practices you might have packed away in the attic of your brain.

This season introduces paired episodes presenting both sides of common youth ministry debates. Each debate features experienced youth ministers who've previously appeared on our podcast, ensuring authentic perspectives from people currently in the trenches. We're starting with one of ministry's fundamental questions: topical versus exegetical teaching, with the first episode dropping September 8th.

Whether you've never given these issues much thought, you're firmly committed to one approach, or you're thoughtfully weighing different perspectives, this season speaks directly to you. Our goal isn't to change your mind or declare debate winners—it's to create space for genuine reflection. When was the last time you reconsidered your teaching approach? Have your ministry methods become automatic rather than intentional?

Don't miss our season premiere on September 8th as we dive into the case for topical teaching, followed by the arguments for exegetical teaching on September 22nd. Subscribe now, and join us as we maintain momentum between the mountaintops of youth ministry.
