Sam is joined by Cole Clark and Sha Racks for a chaotic collection of youth group stories that will make you question every decision ever made in student ministry.

178: Stay Strapped or Get Clapped (Jon Rush & Buddy Jenkins)
On this episode of Youth Group Chronicles, Sam is joined by Jon Rush and Buddy Jenkins for a chaotic lineup of stories that include a youth trip gone off the rails, an outreach skit that left someone hospitalized, and a worship night wardrobe malfunction no one will ever forget.

Taylor Ransom and Isaiah Smallwood are back in the studio with Sam for a wild ride through some of the most insane youth group stories yet. From a foosball table injury that sent a student to the ER in the worst way imaginable, to a middle schooler questioning whether his nether regions were dislocated, this episode doesn’t hold back. You'll also hear about a youth leader who accidentally sparked a police chase, a church choir compliment that went way too far, and a bathroom mystery that turned into a steamy nightmare. This one’s packed with chaos, confusion, and the kind of stories you’ll be glad didn’t happen to you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
