Ever wondered about the coolness of names from different languages? 

Join us for a lighthearted chat with Chad Daugherty from Pensacola, Florida, as he shares his love and experiences in middle school ministry. As we bond over the shared quirks of middle school or "J-High." 

Get ready for some laughs as we recount some of our best misfire youth group games. This episode meanders through the hilariously misguided soda chugging challenge that involved drinking through a sock. Spoiler alert—the students weren't having it! This fun mishap emphasizes the importance of improvisation and understanding young audiences' boundaries. Chad's stories highlight the joys and occasional hiccups of engaging middle schoolers, showcasing how flexibility and creativity are key to successful leadership.

In this episode, we also delve into the important and transformative middle school years, where identity and purpose start to take shape. It's one of the most God-given unique seasons and should not be missed or taken for granted.

Chad shares his passion and the significance of consistent ministry presence and the impact of building trust over time. Through creative metaphors and games, we explore how youth ministry can foster community and leave a lasting mark on students' lives. Whether you're an experienced youth pastor or just starting in the field, there's plenty to learn and laugh about as we navigate the sometimes awkward but always rewarding world of middle school ministry.
