Yes, every 90's youth group experience was a unique one but at 5 Oaks Community Church in Woodbury Minnesota it was downright weird. At one point the teenagers attending the youth group outnumbered the people attending the church. These experiences undoubtedly left a fascinating impact on the kids who were involved. What happened after everyone grew up and moved on? In this podcast we want to reminisce, but more importantly we want to hear where people ended up and the impact that this unique youth group experience had on our lives.

    Scott S (Thanksgiving Boxing)

    I guess Caleb has all the friends. We get to talk to another one of his buds, this time from his young adults years. Scott S has a really eclectic story of growing up on the west cost in an Asian Christian community that has translated to a multi-cultural church experience. It was great to catch up with him because as you'll learn, Caleb had two Scott's in his wedding! How did he keep them straight?
