Sam is joined by Gabe Reedy, Abbie Sue, Carlos Steven Alvarez, Liam Barlow, and more for an episode packed with the kind of youth ministry stories that sound completely made up… but somehow aren’t. From a peaceful late-night baptism turning into total chaos when something explodes out of the woods and tackles a student into the lake, to a wedding sermon that spirals into a live demolition project, these stories only get more unhinged as the episode goes on. You’ll also hear about a camp prank that went way too far, a motorcycle entrance that instantly became a disaster, a hurricane relief trip that uncovered something nobody expected, and one youth game that left Gabe looking like the Joker. Equal parts hilarious, shocking, and painfully awkward, this episode is a reminder that no one creates chaos quite like church people trying their best.

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.
