A Little Singularly Focused

I have deep respect for Walt (as I have read many of his books on youth culture and ministry). And, I am deeply grateful to hear a group of people attempt to "think Christianly" about various things in modern culture. There are so many topics these guys cover that are critical elements for an adult working with students. Often, the podcast devolves into a bemoaning of numerous fears of technology. To be fair, many of these are warranted. Overall, this is a great resource to understand an evagelical perspective on various current teenage events.

Must listen for anyone with teens

I’ve been listening since day one episode one, and Walt never disappoints. This is a great podcast for parents, youth workers, or anyone who wants to understand culture, it’s effects on our kids, and how to bridge the gap.

Challenging, insightful and timely

I have become an active listener and can’t get enough. The diversity in topics, the way that the hosts keep it upbeat and fun, and the depth that the different speakers bring is a blessing. I enjoy the engagement that is present, and I feel like I’m getting to know these individuals, almost as if they are speaking to me personally as I deal with different challenges in ministry, working with young people. So if you have the chance, take a listen, you will not be disappointed.
