MYCG's brand new podcast "Homegrown" is officially a "go!" We pray it is beneficial to our youth, parents, and youth groups "out of town" that share similar humble settings like ours. Small town ✅, church plant ✅, home-site youth group ✅...can you relate to any of those? If so, we pray this episode (and future ones) help "the future church" grow in your community. Interviews with high-schoolers, parents, MYCG and other Community Group leaders, along with sharing the current series and content we're going through, are just the beginning! "Lord, guide us and mold us through this podcast!"

This interview took place on October 20th, 2024.

    "The Front Lines" Ep. 3: Home-Shooling, Dating and Parenting Reflections with the Alford Family

    When you're a family of eight, the father's a pastor, and your six kids are scattered across various public, private and home school settings, you'd think the opportunity for Satan to seed division, jealousy and rebellion would be ripe... ...and yet, the Alfords are as united as they come. Through questions about dating, "siblingship," school, and expectations, listen to how the Lord has guided them every step of the way.

    "The Front Lines" Season Kick-Off w/ Trista, Aubri, Beau, Lizzy + Surprise Guest

    We kick-start a brand new season of "Homegrown" as we leave Injection behind and move to a new season, The Front Lines, where we talk to those who are on the, you guessed it, "front lines" of teenage life: high-schoolers, college kids, parents, youth pastors, guidance counselors, etc. In this episode, we ask four high-schoolers: 1. What are 3 things you experience that adults aren't fully aware of? 2. What are 2 things you think about more than anything else? 3. What is the biggest question you're still wrestling with in your personal walk with Jesus? "Lord, let this season be beneficial to anyone who's invested in the next generation of Jesus-followers!"

    Episode 7: Injection Finale! Q5 - "The Ineffective God"

    Why are the worst people I know Christians? If their God is like them, I want no part of Him or His religion! The Injection series comes to a close as we take on this final "Q." Todd Humbert (pastor of The Greenhouse church), Chase Toomey (music director at Greenhouse and math teacher at MCHS), Wendy Cook (youth leader at Relentless church), and Henry Cook (sophomore at MCHS) all hop on the episode to discuss what we can do as the church to keep from pushing non-believers further away from Jesus and instead bring them CLOSER to Him.

    Episode 6: Q4 - "God and Pain" with Julia Erman

    This week, Julia Erman shares with us her experience with the character of Q4: "The Confusing God," which asks the question(s), "Why does God allow us to hurt? Doesn't He love us? Why doesn't He intervene?" If you've ever wrestled with the paradox of God's goodness/omnipotence and our struggle/suffering, we pray you find this episode both encouraging and helpful.

    Episode 5: Q3 - "The Threatened God"

    Have you heard before / have you thought before: "Isn’t science disproving God, or the need for one? Haven’t advances in the biosciences revealed answers to questions that we previously thought only 'God' could answer?" Man. This can feel like such a stalemate: a spiritual God vs. a material science. But we hope you see through our conversation it's not a battle at all, and it never has been.

Logan offers advice to college applicants followed by her observations of "faith on campus."

    Episode 1: The Podcast, MYCG Background, and our Winter Series

    MYCG's brand new podcast "Homegrown" is officially a "go!" Here is our pilot episode, discussing the origin and purpose of the podcast, MYCG, and our Winter Series for 2024. How might the Lord use this podcast? We have some ideas... We pray this is beneficial to our youth, parents, and youth groups "out of town" that share similar humble settings like ours. Small town ✅, church plant ✅, home-site youth group ✅...can you relate to any of those? If so, we pray this episode (and future ones) help "the future church" grow in your community; and if not, we still believe our conversations are pertinent and important all contexts! "Lord, let 'Homegrown' be helpful and encouraging to your laborers. All praise be to You!"
