What if youth ministry works best when it stays simple?

In this episode of Saints That Serve, we share a real behind-the-scenes story of ministry built not on hype, but on Jesus, Scripture, and consistency. From Baptist roots to a non-denominational youth room, we talk about culture shock, raised hands in worship, and the decision to keep the Bible at the center through Scripture-focused small groups, a full read-through of the Gospel of John, and honest, expository teaching.

Along the way, we revisit the moments students remember—Nerf nights, lock-ins, summer camp devotionals, answered prayers, and relationships built beyond Wednesday nights. Some students leaned in, others walked away, and ministry stayed messy. 

If you serve students, care about discipleship, or want honest conversations at the crossroads of faith and culture, this episode is for you.

What shapes us more than we realize - stories, habits, or community? In this episode of The Saints That Serve Podcast, a free-flowing conversation moves from pop culture laughs and mythic monsters to deeper reflections on virtue, faith, and daily formation. We break down vampires, zombies, and an epic Odyssey trailer, connecting fandom to discipline, loyalty, patience, and hope.

We close with prayer, a look ahead to Mission Ministry Month, and a practical challenge: read one chapter of Luke each day and let Scripture shape your instincts. Faith isn’t a segment - it’s the center.

The holidays are loud, and meaning often gets lost. 

In this episode, we take a warm, approachable look at three seasonal observances - Hanukkah, the Winter Solstice, and Kwanzaa - exploring their history, purpose, and what they reveal about identity, hope, and community. 

From the faith and perseverance behind Hanukkah, to the human longing for light at the solstice, to Kwanzaa’s call to unity and shared purpose, we unpack the “why” behind each tradition. 

We close by bringing it all back to Christmas, reminding listeners that traditions point us toward Christ, the true center of the season. 

 Join the conversation by sharing which holiday traditions have been most meaningful to you and how you keep Christ at the center of the season in the comment section.

What really makes a great Christmas gift - price, popularity, or the story behind it? In this festive episode of Saints That Serve Podcast, we race through 100 years of iconic Christmas gifts, from 2025 predictions all the way back to teddy bears and Erector sets. Along the way, we revisit classics like Pokémon cards, NES, Furby, Cabbage Patch Kids, Transformers, Star Wars figures, and modern hits like Hatchimals, Squishmallows, Wii, Xbox 360, and Guitar Hero.

With humor, nostalgia, and a few holiday challenges (including avoiding Wham’s “Last Christmas”), we explore how gift-giving shifted from simple toys to status tech - and what we may have lost along the way. Through a faith-based lens, we re-center Christmas on Jesus, God with us, and talk about giving gifts that spark connection, conversation, and lasting memories rather than hype.

Join the conversation by sharing your most memorable childhood gift and whether you’ve been Whammed in the comment section.
