Youth Ministry Fails, new Sounds and Reaching Generations

Join hosts Jason and Tiffany for a hilarious and heartfelt episode of Doing Life Together! This week, they’re joined by Pastor Dillon Newsome, their youth pastor, who shares wild and unforgettable stories from the trenches of youth ministry. From disastrous Kool-Aid games and Thanksgiving-in-a-blender debacles to piñatas stuffed with underwear and a heartbreaking Beats headphone mix-up, the team recounts the chaotic, laugh-out-loud moments that define youth ministry. But it’s not all fun and games—Dillon opens up about his powerful journey to faith, from a dark moment of despair to finding hope in Christ. The conversation dives deep into why youth ministry matters in today’s social media-saturated world, the hunger for truth among Gen Z, and the importance of genuine connection in a culture of filters and façades. Plus, Jason and Tiffany reflect on the Total Health Challenge, exploring how spiritual, mental, and physical wellness tie into living authentically for Jesus. Packed with humor, wisdom, and a whole lot of heart, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about faith, community, and the next generation.
