January 6th, 2021, the United States of America changed.  In response to the Capitol Riot, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer ask eight questions about politics mixing with our faith.  These questions are directed at those who lead students, but all stem from the main question, is politics ruining our witness?  One thing that has been witnessed over centuries of time, the zeal for God begins to diminish as our passion for politics grows.

A chauffeur is a person employed to drive a private or rented automobile.  Driving instructors help their driving students in practically learning how to drive a car individually.  One has the customer in the back and the other has the customer in the driver's seat.  If you were to evaluate your youth ministry, would you be more considered as a chauffeur or a driving instructor, based on how involved and engaged your students were?  In this episode, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer discuss the cultural difference between student-led youth ministries and adult-driven youth ministries.

The Potawatomi Trail of Death was the forced removal by militia in 1838 of some 859 members of Potawatomi nation from Indiana to reservation lands in what is now Kansas.  In this episode, host Jeff Eckart shares his 3-week journey of prayer walking the Potawatomi Trail of Death.  Going beyond the physical, emotional, and spiritual toll it took on him, he dives into why he felt led to do this walk, what he learned along the way, and the divine outcomes that have resulted since.

When it comes to passing down our faith from one generation to the next, how do we go about doing that?  Are students committed to the church as much as the previous generation? Does church commitment mean a faith commitment in a student’s life?  Today, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer discuss the importance of connecting students to church and the youth group and how that can impact their faith later on in life.  How do we connect them now to church and faith and how do we connect them after they graduate?

Students are under a lot of pressure.  The pressures of getting the top grades, the pressure to compete and succeed in sports, the pressure to fit in and be liked, the pressure of flawlessly managing a digital persona, the pressure of others’ expectations, the pressure to always make the right decision.  It feels like students must be perfect in all areas of their life, but who's putting that pressure on them?  All this pressure is stressful.  In today's episode, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer discuss the stress adolescents experience and how adults can help them handle many of the stressors of today.

How many would promote a youth event and not include free food like any pizza?  How many would have the event be centered around just prayer?  In today's episode, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer discuss the time of day students primarily pray and wondering if students are being taught the fundamentals of prayer beyond the rote ones that are default for many people.  Is there a culture of prayer within the ministries we lead?  

What can happen when 10 students have a burden to pray for their school and follow through with that conviction?  What can happen when others are invited to pray?  What if the number of those who are invited are in the 10's of thousands?  In this episode, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer interview two men who were there from the very beginning of See You At The Pole, Billy Beacham and Doug Clark.  You will hear the story of how one of the world's largest prayer movement began and how it continues to make an impact around school campuses today.

God has been kicked out of America's public school system.  We have seen the results of His absence. Unfortunately, no policy in place will eradicate the symptoms of hate, but only a change in a person's heart.  What would happen if students invited God back in through student-led prayer?  In today's episode, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer interview a national touring hip-hop artist and of Oxen Apparel, George Moss, who has gained access into schools through his performances and speaking opportunities, which has given him an inside view of what students face at school.  We also hear a story from a public high school principal who has seen radical change through student-led prayer at his school.

In the wake of the horrific and tragic school shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer talk to Joshua Liggins, a teacher at Coral Springs Middle School.  Coral Springs Middle is a feeder school into Douglas High, located down the road from where the shooting occurred.  Josh gives his account from the day as the code red was given and his classroom's response to the news of the tragedy, as well as his response to the news of a former student attending Douglas High.  It is a response of faith amongst the tragedy.  Our prayers go out to the families of the victims, the community of Parkland, and for healing to the countless lives that were shattered on February 14, 2018.

The conversation continues about students sharing their faith with others.  In this episode, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer discuss the importance of clarity when it comes to what we believe.  They share a simple method that allows anyone to remember how to share and to be confident in sharing the gospel.  It is called THE FOUR, and Jayson has a conversation with the founder, Andreas "Boppi" Boppart, about its use in Switzerland and throughout Europe.

How can we help parents win with their students?  As youth leaders, do we really know what parents need from us?  Is the way we are doing youth ministry helping or hindering them as parents?  What is the #1 thing we can do to affirm parents?  Will our efforts be felt by only the student or the entire family?  In this episode, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer provide a list of 10 ways youth leaders can help parents win.

Are students leaving the church?  In this episode, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer discuss what can happen to a church if the students are ignored.  Ignored in the budget, ignored in their involvement, ignored in allowing their voice to be heard.  Special guest interview with Darren Campbell, a part-time pastor, full-time business owner discusses his approach to his church, Exit 59 Church, by allowing complete amateurs run it.  He also shares the analogy of the Church needs to be more like a kitchen and less like a restaurant. How are we investing in the next generation of church-goers?

Are students leaving the church? Fifty percent of students drift from their faith after graduating high school.  Of those who drift, 80% did not plan to drift from their faith when they went to college or went into the workforce.  Are we losing the battle with students or is there a reason to have hope in this generation's loyalty to the local church?  In this episode, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer dive into the numbers from their research about students' loyalty to the church, their youth group, and what it looks like for students' faith when they actually attend church post-graduation.  What can we do as youth leaders to prepare students for faith outside high school, to ensure it sticks?

What is prayer? How would you define what prayer is? Talking to God? A conversation with God?  What is NOT prayer? A vending machine? An obligation or wish list? Talking to ourselves with our eyes closed?  When we pray, we can have access to the heart and knowledge of God. It is about knowing God and getting in the stream where God can do crazy things. It's up to us to listen and then speak.  The better we can hear God, the better we can articulate when we pray.  In this 4-part series on prayer, Jeff Eckart is speaking to a select group of 30 high school students from around the country that are a part of the Claim Your Campus National Student Council Forum.  In this episode, Jeff gives us a better understanding of how prayer works.  Part 1 of 4.  Recorded on March 3, 2017.

Welcome to Season Two of the Thought Factory Podcast!  In today's episode, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer discusses the topic of fear in students' lives.  Fear surrounds us and our culture is driven by fear.  There is a lot of money in fear.  And some fears are real and justified. But fear can also be apparent and rampant in the minds of the students who are a part of the body of Christ.  We discuss where students experience the most fear, how often they experience feelings of fear, and what they fear the most.  Are we helping students understand fear and how to grow in faith by confronting fear?  Are we taking the time to explain to students the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives when we are faced with any type of fear?
