Sam is joined by Buddy Jenkins and George Johnson for an episode full of absolute youth ministry chaos, including the now-infamous “Baptism Attack” story where a late-night spontaneous lake baptism takes a completely unexpected turn. Along the way, the guys react to stories of a wedding sermon that ended with a dollhouse getting obliterated by a baseball bat, a youth pastor crashing a motorcycle onto the church stage, a donut game gone horribly wrong, and one camp prank that escalated way beyond what anyone expected. From awkward moments to unbelievable camp stories and near-disasters, this episode is nonstop proof that no one survives youth ministry with their dignity fully intact.

Cole Clark joins Sam Moss for a chaotic episode recorded four stories underground in a New York City greenroom with special guest Ruslan. From a camp prank involving a fake bear attack that sent students into full panic mode, to a youth pastor accidentally traumatizing an entire Christmas caroling group, to one student learning the hard way why hot pepper challenges come with very specific safety precautions… this episode somehow keeps getting worse in the best possible way. Plus, a sermon illustration goes horribly wrong, a leader accidentally creates the most uncomfortable parent meeting imaginable, and one camp director gets blindsided by a newlywed couple with very unexpected news…

This week, Sam is joined by Cole Clark and John Cuomo for an episode packed with the kind of youth group stories you truly couldn’t script—even if you tried. From a chaotic game of Mafia that takes an unexpected romantic turn, to a service moment that goes completely off the rails, the stories just keep escalating. There’s a well-meaning student sermon that derails an altar call, a camp tradition that comes back in the most unfortunate way, and a mission trip decision that would never fly today. Along the way, Cole shares a personal story about finances that hits a little too close to home, while John helps process the absurdity of it all. It’s equal parts hilarious, uncomfortable, and wildly unforgettable—basically everything you’d expect when youth ministry stories go off script.

In this After Hours bonus episode, Sam is joined by Sha, Ciara and Cole for a chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly thoughtful conversation you didn’t know you needed. From bold personal hot takes to debating what actually counts as a “sheltered life,” nothing is off limits. The crew imagines future YGC guests, guesses what people would assume Sam went to jail for (it gets wild), and settles the ultimate nostalgia battle: Club Penguin vs. Webkinz. They also share their favorite piece of fan mail, drop their number one tip for starting a youth group, confess their weirdest favorite food combos, and dive into their honest thoughts on gentle parenting. It’s unfiltered, unpredictable, and packed with laughs from start to finish.

This week on Youth Group Chronicles, Sam is joined by guests as they dive into a lineup of stories that escalate fast, starting with a church service moment that takes a turn no one saw coming and leaves the entire room in shock. From a windy roadside stop that goes horribly wrong, to a youth group game that gets a little too intense, to a camp mystery involving a hole in the cabin wall that people definitely shouldn’t have messed with, the chaos keeps stacking. Throw in an Easter production that doesn’t go according to plan, a live mic moment that should’ve stayed private, and a ski trip that puts everyone in an unexpectedly awkward situation, and this episode just keeps getting more unhinged by the minute…
