This week we tend to some of our wounds created by some recent negative reviews on iTunes, and give you 13 steps on how to become best friends with your lead pastor. 

This week, we share a little clip from a conference in Los Angeles put on by Bethel earlier this year. What do you think, is it ever okay to sing to a city? Also, we recap some of the worst song specials we’ve ever heard in church over the years.

This week Drew and Michael have a pretty serious rap battle… using Dr. Seuss, and we interview Pastor Greg Ford, the pastor behind the baptism video that has gone viral (check the links below). He also has a youth ministry story that you’re not likely to forget anytime soon.

Today we find out that Drew and Michael spend their time off doing the exact same thing: messing with scammers on Craigslist. Then we give a title to the different type of altar calls that are employed by pastors to end their gatherings. Finally, in our “Three Minutes With Someone Smarter Than We Are” segment, we ask Sam Cassese, a current youth pastor, how do youth pastors balance the tension between leading a growing ministry while still emphasizing the importance of community.

This week we’re joined by our Producer, Tyler Clarensau, who talks about how he was the worst pastors kid, and how difficult it is to edit the podcast. We also get into a conversation on how we should address the subject of sex and how it is preached in youth ministry. For those feeling nostalgic, we open with game where we try to guess that one hit wonder from the 90s, 00s, and 10s.

This week we try to figure out which pastor is worth more (Kirk Cameron is worth how much!?), Michael remembers his failed attempt at evangelism, and we try to figure out the point of See You At The Pole.

This week, we question what happened to actors who have disappeared in recent years, and try to impersonate different celebrities singing musical worship songs. We end the show with an interview over the phone with a comedian/ex-youth pastor from the East Coast.

Michael talks about his bad experience in a laser dome, we play a game taking actual quotes from pastors and asking if its good advice or bad advice, and we finish the episode talking about some of the negative feedback our podcast has received over the past couple months. 

In this episode, Michael and Drew play a game called “Guess The Followers”. Drew talks about his bad hair cut, and Michael has the once in a lifetime opportunity to make fun of Drew’s clothes.

This week we talk about how bad Michael is at fantasy football, and prank local coffee shop. We finish the episode with a conversation about the differences between being a generalist or a specialist.
