Thought Factory Podcast

Thought Factory is dedicated to learning from students, for students, to better our ministry practice with students. Based on our own yearly national research with students (3,000+) and youth workers (500+), we break down what we are hearing from middle school and high school students from across America. We also discuss the intriguing differences between what adults ”think” students are thinking and the students’ responses themselves. Hosted by Geoff Eckart and Jayson Brewer from Never The Same, this show is for those who are interested in or working with students in a ministry or faith context.

    #1211 | 1/2 | The Church Basement is Burning | Is Youth Ministry Dying? The Causes

    Several things within the Church are causing a decline in the Youth Ministry department.  But, if the Church ignores the things going on under the surface, it could take out the entire Church in the future.  In this episode, Geoff and Jayson are joined by a special guest, Charlie Alcock, a professor at Indiana Wesleyan University, to discuss the causes.  They identify seven causes of why they think this is happening, that range from financial to church planting to outdated methodologies.  This is a two-part series, so check out the second episode (#1212) after this one to hear the solutions.

    #1210 | Church Hurt

    Sadly, the Church has hurt more people than anyone would like to admit.  But, that is because it is made up of people.  Many people have experienced some form of hurt that was associated with someone in the church or associated with the Christian faith.  This may have caused them to walk away from the Christian faith or be skeptical of leadership and the institution of the Church.  Geoff and Jayson have a practical conversation surrounding what they call "church hurt" with a Campus/Teaching Pastor at Willow Creek Community Church, Miguel DeLaMora.

    #1209 | A Deeper Conversation with Your Students about Sexuality

    There are many layers to the topic of sexuality.  It ranges from what we view and keeping our thoughts pure to heterosexual attraction and desire to same-sex attraction and identity, from basic concepts of biological sex to the current cultural conversation of the fluidity of gender.  How do we have conversations with our students about sexuality?  When and how do we broach this topic, and how deeply do we discuss this before it gets weird and awkward?  One thing the Church cannot do is stick its head in the sand and hope these things will pass or settle themselves.  The Church must be willing to discuss such things.  In today's episode, Geoff and Jayson invite Clare DeGraaf, who is an author, teacher, and spiritual mentor, to the show to have the deeper conversations that the Church should be having in regard to sexuality.

    #1208 | School Climate Post Pandemic

    One of the areas of society that was affected the hardest during the pandemic was schools, teachers, and students.  The level of change they had to navigate was high just to keep things functioning.  Now, as many things are "back to normal," what effect has the pandemic had on the entire system and the most vulnerable, the students?  In today's episode, Geoff and Jayson discuss the changes inside schools post-pandemic with a public school teacher, Jeff Henderson.

    #1207 | The Good News About Student Dropout Rates of the Church

    Are young people leaving the church in droves? Are we losing the next generation when they graduate from our Youth Ministry because it's only about having fun and eating pizza?  What we have believed for so many decades about the high dropout rate of students from the Church and about them leaving the Christian faith altogether after they graduate is false. Yes, false. It is significantly better than we have thought for so long.  In today's episode, Geoff and Jayson have a conversation with Liberty University professor Derik Idol, who has done extensive research on this topic and his findings are eye-opening. Derik's research, An Assessment of Dropout Rates of Former Student Ministry Participants, can be found here: https://digitalcommons.liberty.edu/doctoral/3428/

    #1206 | Reentry Into Youth Ministry in a Different World

    For those who have been in Youth Ministry before Covid, we know things have changed since the pandemic.  We live in a different world now.  Youth Ministry is different.  Being Youth Pastors before stepping into the non-profit world, Jayson Brewer and Kyle Wood recently reentered the local church Youth Ministry together after being away for many years.  In this episode, they recount some of the things they were very surprised by and discuss some differences between a pre-Covid to a post-Covid world in Youth Ministry.
