"You Will Understand When You're Younger"

West Hills Friends Youth Group

Adults are often terrified of teenagers. Teenagers are often intimidated by adults. Cross-generational communication and connection is hard. The most common question our young people hear from adults is, "How is school?" It would seem that an adult often only knows one thing about a teenager they are talking to, they probably go to school. In this podcast, we decide to lean in completely to the awkwardness of adult/teenager interactions. An adult brings five honest and real questions to ask a group of teenagers, and the teens, in turn, get to ask an adult five questions.

    Eric Witherspoon (Part 2)

    In this two-part episode, we hear from Eric Witherspoon, a man full of incredible stories. From being a butler to driving a cab in Chicago, and escaping martial law in New Orleans, we trust you will find this episode to be full of funny and engaging stories. Our young people get a chance to share their thoughts on technology, social media, and why putting a period after "K" in a text message is definitely a bad idea.

    Dr. David Peyton

    "It may feel like magic, but it's not...it is just physics..." on this episode of "You Will Understand When You're Younger" we invite Dr. David Peyton to join us. Dr. Peyton is a professor of chemistry at Portland State University and a longtime member of our Quaker meeting. Since we know that Dr. Peyton was involved in the development of a drug for malaria, we wanted to hear his thoughts about the roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine. Is it safe? Would he take it if given the chance? Besides that, we hear about the legacy of a bean dish in our Quaker community, what one of our young people think about the name of Jesus being so proudly displayed at the riot in Washington D.C, and how science and Christianity can co-exist.
