    Ep. 45 - Games!

    Youth ministers sometimes get classified as glorified babysitters with games and pizza. While that isn't true AT ALL, there is a time and place for games. Join Steve and Matt as they talk about "Playing with Purpose." They give some practical advice, and even give some examples of games they've used over the years. Drop us an email at info@wewerethinking.org and tell us what games have made an impact in your youth ministry!    Intro Music - Wes Cepin Outro Music - Matt Coleman

    Ep. 43 - Revolution

    Steve once came across a phrase that he just couldn't shake. It was, "At it's core, Christianity is a counter-cultural, revolutionary movement." Today, the guys talk about what a revolution is, how Christianity is a revolution, and what that means for us in our personal walk today.  Don't forget to like, subscribe, review and share.

    Ep. 42 - New Year's "Resolutions"

    Do you ever find yourself making New Year's Resolutions every year, only to break them within the first few weeks? Do you get tired of that?

    Ep. 41 - Discipleship and Maturity

    For a very long time, churches have marked the progression of maturity in Christianity as regularly attending church > joining a small group > serving in the church. All of those are great, but they don't guarantee that you have matured, or that you're even a follower of Christ! Join Steve and Matt as they talk about the marks of a disciple, and they even offer some practical advice.

    Ep. 40 - High School Seminary

    This is one of our most requested topics. Steve was featured in an article for The Christian Index (https://christianindex.org/stories/high-school-seminary-striking-early-morning-chord-in-kentucky,32295) where they talked about something he started several years ago. Calling it High School Seminary, Steve challenged his students to stop living from camp high to camp high and get serious about their faith. What followed became an incredible experience where students were challenged in their faith; they even had to write papers about it! Join the guys as they talk about this unique idea that wasn't the start of a program, but a stoking of the fires.
