On this episode, Jason and Kurt take a detour to discuss some of the struggles the've faced over the years. What do you do when you just don't "feel it" anymore? How do you navigate the self-impossed pressure for results? One of our more serious episodes...and also one of our more meaningful. Funny how those two things seem to go hand in hand.

Jason and Kurt spend some time talking about a few "frequently asked questions" among the Youth Worker Nation: "Should you have a formal check-in system?", "How do you become a better communicator?" and "What should we do about leaders who are dating?" Tune in for some of Jason's profound thoughts on each topic (Oh, and you'll hear some of Kurt's thoughts, too).

The one and only Katie Edwards joins the fellas this week! In addition to debating just how "Godly" Katie is, the trio talks about a variety of tips, tricks and tid-bits to kicking off an incredible fall. Plus, they spend way too much time on an email from the Youth Worker Nation, and a sponsor sends in two gifts....and somehow Jason ends up with both.

Jason and Kurt share a few things they're thinking about as the fall looms....specifically how to better empower volunteers and give away ministry. Kurt shares a weird "box" analogy, they talk old-school christian bands and they still don't have a properly functioning timer (Bring back the pig!).

On this week's episode, Jason and Kurt talk about their own approach to raising kids as youth workers. Should you give your own kids special privileges? Should you take them to youth group events? How do you handle the pressure they feel as "Pastors Kids"? And....the typical hijinks happen: they struggle with their new timer, proudly mention a sponsor and introduce a contest worth $5,000!

In this jam-packed episode Jason swings and misses, We discover who wins the "How Much Will Spider Man Make On Opening Day?" contest, A new contest worth $5,000 is started, the guys sport some sweet SWAG from a sponsor and read some emails from the Youth Ministry Nation. You might be thinking to yourself, "there's no way this all happens in twelve(ish) minutes. You would be wrong....especially if you take the "ISH" into consideration!

Jason and Kurt discuss the ongoing challenge of caring for and encouraging volunteers. Also, is there such a thing as "organically organized"? And why can't Kurt name one Supertones song?

This week's topic: relational ministry. Highlights include: Problems with the pig timer, a window word-picture, and a nonsensical debate. Where's Jake to keep things on track?!

Join Kurt and Jason as they discuss the pros and cons of a busy summer schedule, talk about their favorite comedy and drama television shows, read a letter from the the Youth Worker Nation, and reveal a few new show sponsors. NOTE: By “show sponsors" we mean anybody who sends them something in the mail!

Watch as the guys discuss everything from SNL to summer youth activities. All in (roughly) 12 minutes sharp!
