The Prosperity Gospel is often talked about in our circles. A listener asked us to throw our two cents at the topic and so we spent the time chatting about the prosperity gospel. We hope it encourages you.

Ever have a student or two living a double life? Have you ever lived a life of hypocrisy? It's a real thing and in this episode we have a discussion about it. Hope it ultimately encourages you.

Alright... I promise this is the last podcast on transition. There are a lot of people transitioning in student ministry and we want to be an encouragement to them as well as lay out some healthy parameters. Our story isn't perfect, but we want to use it to help you if we can. To God be the glory.

In the episode Matthew and Syler continue their previous discussion on the transition that took place in their ministry roles in 2016.

So in 2016 God was at work... His work moved Matthew to Cedar Rapids and placed Syler into the Student Ministry role that he now has. Transitions can be interesting and for all the bad ones... there can be some good ones.

So last week we got busy yapping about the local church... so much so we didn't get it done in one episode! Here is the second and final episode discussing youth in the local church, membership and all that fun stuff. Enjoy.

So many of us are part of a local church but do we know why we are there? I hope there is more to it than a paycheck or you like the music or staff! If those issues run through our minds, what do our students deal with in their minds, why do they go to 'this' church?
