Almost 19 years ago, Wendy and I (Chris) had our first kid. I remember being overwhelmed at the thought of being a Dad. We had no idea what we were doing and we had no idea how it was going to impact our being in youth ministry. It's been quite a ride these last 19 years.

Last month, that soon to be 19 year old graduated from High School. He's grown up in youth ministry and been on practically as many youth ministry trips as I have. Jody and I decided to have him on so Jody could get some dirt on me... I mean... so we could pick his brain about what was great and what was challenging growing up in youth ministry and having a youth pastor for Dad.

If you're approaching parenthood or are approaching that time where your kid is going to be a part of your youth ministry, this episode is for you. I'm proud of my boy! This one is perhaps one of the best we've done! Or maybe that's just a proud Dad moment?!? Take a listen and let us know what you think.
