197: “WHERE. IS. SHE.” (Buddy Jenkins & John Scarborough)
This week, Sam is joined by Buddy Jenkins and John Scarborough for one of the wildest mixes of youth group chaos yet. Things kick off with a counselor at camp whose nighttime “episodes” turn an entire cabin into a horror scene, setting the tone for an episode packed with unbelievable moments—from students making questionable decisions with their parents’ grooming tools, to lock-in games that take a terrifying turn in the dark, to towel-war battles gone horribly wrong, to disappearing campers, farm-camp surprises, and even a post-trip revelation no youth pastor ever wants to hear. Buckle up—this one escalates fast, and nothing is what you think it’s going to be…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

195: Halloween, Haircuts & Hot Takes | After Hours Series (Cole Clark & Buddy Jenkins)
In this After Hours bonus episode, Sam is joined by Buddy Jenkins and Cole Clark for a chaotic mix of stories, opinions, and questionable life confessions. From Halloween memories and the wildest things they’ve seen in church, to debating unbelievers, dissecting homeschool culture (including peak homeschool moments and prom takes), and roasting each other’s hair phases, nothing is off-limits. They dive into hunting trip mishaps, argue about when Christmas lights should legally go up, reveal their favorite music artists and cafeteria foods, and even weigh in on Phillip Anthony Mitchell. It’s unfiltered, unplanned, and way too honest—just how After Hours should be.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

194: Welcome to the Splash Zone (Buddy Jenkins & John Scarborough)
This week on Youth Group Chronicles, Sam is joined by Buddy Jenkins and John Scarborough for a lineup of stories that prove youth ministry is never predictable. From a late-night “attempted kidnapping” that spiraled into a full parent meltdown, to a mysterious intruder shoving students awake in the middle of the night, to a kid secretly producing an entire army of paper cut-out gingerbread criminals, things escalate fast. Sam also hears a story about a pastor’s parent meeting that goes wildly off the rails, a prayer moment that takes an extremely unfortunate turn, and a youth leader whose attempt to maintain order crosses a few too many lines. But nothing tops the chaotic moment that turns an innocent youth event into a full-blown splash zone—courtesy of one fearless middle schooler. Tune in and prepare to be concerned for humanity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
