This week on Youth Group Chronicles, Sam is joined by Sha Racks and Buddy Jenkins for one of the wildest episodes yet. From a VBS volunteer who fully embraced her “animal side” in the most unsettling ways, to a late-night lock-in game that ended with a dramatic twist, these stories prove youth ministry is anything but predictable. You'll hear about chaotic camp accidents, wildly inappropriate misunderstandings, and one discovery in a church building that no one was prepared for. Buckle up—this episode is packed with the kind of moments you truly have to hear to believe...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We sit down with Gerald who shares his remarkable journey from Malaysia to Sydney, filled with culture, resilience, and surprising moments of kindness.From discovering Vegemite and honey on buttered toast, to unforgettable encounters with strangers who showed compassion at McDonald's and even concerned bikers checking on his daughter, these stories remind us that small acts of care can leave lasting impacts.He also reflects on his studies, career twists, and how a chance phone call led him into IT sales—a role that brought both challenges and deep joy. Eventually, his love for Australia, sparked in part by Peter Allen's “I Still Call Australia Home,” brought him and his family back to Sydney to start a new chapter.

Holden Wollmann has been named a Beck's Player with Heart due to his dedication to his school, community, and the agriculture industry.

He works on his family farm, raising Black Angus cattle, growing corn and soybeans, and welding livestock-related products. Holden currently plays basketball, football, and competes in track and field. He loves competing and seeing countless hours of work and effort pay off when he gets the win. Through high school sports and activities, he has learned to lead by example and character. In school, Holden is involved in the National Honor Society and student council, and is a dedicated member of his school's FFA chapter. He is a state finalist in Agricultural Mechanics Design and Fabrication and has been on state-qualifying CDE and LDE teams over the years.

Allison currently plays volleyball, basketball, and softball, and is involved in several clubs, including IMPACT, Spanish Club, 4-H, the National Honor Society, ice fishing, and Youth Group.

We sit down to continue Megan's story, a school chaplain, climber, and social work student. She shares what it means to serve in a pastoral role in public schools, where one-on-one ministry is about care, listening, and support rather than preaching. She opens up about the challenges of carrying emotional burdens, the comfort she finds in prayer, and the privilege of pointing people to Christ—even indirectly.Outside of chaplaincy, Megan finds joy and mental health benefits in climbing, music, and being part of a supportive community. We also hear about her training at Youthworks, her path into community services and social work, and her vision of working with kids, families, and mental health in the future.

Alison continues her story with Joel and Brayden, sharing ten years as missionaries in Austria. From landing in minus 18-degree weather with two young kids to memorable language learning mishaps (like asking for a "home snake test"), she reflects on the challenges and joys of cross-cultural ministry. Alison shares how simple relationships - like Wednesday afternoon coffee visits - became seeds of gospel growth, watching local leaders rise up to lead the church they helped establish. Returning to Australia brought unexpected struggles as their third-culture kids wrestled with identity and belonging. Through pastoral ministry years to finding their place at Soul Revival, Alison's story encourages trusting God's timing through every season and embracing the unexpected journey He has planned.

Alison joins Joel and Brayden to share her journey from growing up in a Christian family to making her faith her own. Raised in the snowy town of Cooma with parents in ministry, she wrestled with identity and faith through high school before fully committing to Jesus at 17.From eating hot chips out of a tank loaf to discovering friends who quietly went to church, Alison reflects on the everyday moments and challenges that shaped her. She also shares about ten years as a missionary in Austria — the joys, struggles, and lessons of serving overseas and raising three children in a different culture.Returning to Australia brought fresh challenges, but also renewed passion for helping others grow in their faith. Alison's story is an encouragement to embrace your unique journey with God and live it out with courage and community.

This week's message is a little different — instead of one preacher, you'll hear from a panel of our high school students fresh from their immersion trip to Memphis. They share stories, moments that moved them, and how walking the streets of history and service shaped their faith. From civil rights landmarks to conversations with local leaders, their reflections will challenge and inspire you to see God's work in unexpected places.

Check outGrowYourYouthMinistry.com *** To celebrate our 250th episode, we're taking you on a full behind-the-scenes tour of our midweek youth group program.  Our youth ministry has access to our entire church and we will be showing exactly how we transform it and utilize space to enable a thriving student ministry program!From the moment students arrive, every space serves a strategic purpose. We walk through pre-program hangout zones, our leader preparation/meeting spaces, and the main service area where we conduct high-energy games, worship, and teaching. You'll also see how we convert multiple spaces into effective small group environments where deeper connections happen.Whether you lead ministry in a sprawling campus or a modest building, this tour offers practical ideas you can adapt for your context. For churches with limited facilities, we offer scaled-down alternatives that create the same engaging atmosphere without requiring elaborate setups or equipment.If you want to watch the full tour with visuals, check it out on YouTube here:SHOPPING LIST:Mailbox: https://amzn.to/43gjQwFPiggy Bank/Box for Compassion Intl Donations: https://amzn.to/3ZefnZZSmall Group Bins: https://amzn.to/3Iv2ntD (these aren't the same, but similar)Connect 4 Lawn Game: https://amzn.to/3Iv2ntDCastlesports 9 Square: https://amzn.to/4eQLBkFTwo Way Radios: https://amzn.to/4kdMxRENintendo Switch: https://amzn.to/43vS7JyMarket Lights: https://amzn.to/43lCseMBoba Pearls - https://amzn.to/4c695j2Torani Syrup for Italian Sodas: https://amzn.to/4ce85cJ=========If you have it on your heart to support this ministry, please consider going to our Patreon page at: www.patreon.com/ministrycoach=========You may also enjoy these episodes:(#121) FREE TIME YOUTH MINISTRY GAMES - 6 Pre-Service Games Activities(#242) Youth Ministry Room Setup & Decorating Ideas - Youth Ministry Remodel=======
