I had a great chat with my colleague, Dr Kirsten Macaitis, about what she learned from her study of spirituality and camps, and what this means for the conversation around youth ministry. 

I had a chat with Dr Ben Lohmeyer of Flinders University about some of the differences between youth work and youth ministry - and some of the gaps that youth ministry has in the space of listening to and joining with young people. 

I have a chat with one of Tabor's alumni, Ben Rowe, about his ministry to young people on the streets, in shopping centres and so on. We chat about why this kind of ministry is important, and what it might mean for churches.

I discuss the purpose of youth ministry from multiple angles, using Arthur David Canales (2006) eight models. Which one of these models is better suited to the Misfits? Which one do you think is most appropriate for youth ministry? 

I have a chat with a mate of mine, Ben Smith, about the question - what is youth ministry really about? What is its essence? 

I reflect on (again) my interview with James Harris, and chat about some things I've been learning from my PhD.

I was really inspired by my chat with James Harris last week, and so I delved into some of these ideas about how to work with what we sometimes call "the naughty kids." 

I chat with James Harris of YouthWork.io about his experiences with the church, punk rock, and how churches can reach the misfits.

Tim shares about his story of youth ministry, Chaplaincy, Youth Work, and Tabor, as well as some of the outcomes of his research, Young people and the Baptist church: Staying and Leaving.

Who am I? Why did I start this podcast? What will this podcast be about?
