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.

Packaged Tamales, Total Health and Speaking with Tongues

Join us for another hilarious and heartfelt episode of the Doing Life Together Podcast! We kick things off confessing our guilty pleasure foods that make everyone gag – from cottage cheese with sunflower seeds and ranch, to nachos drowned in ketchup, hominy straight from the can with crayon (wait, what?!), and yes, canned tamales with ranch-style beans. 😱 We even unbox and jiggle TikTok-famous Filos Walking Tamales (bean salsa roja flavor – shelf-stable for your doomsday bunker until 2027!). These gummy, slimy corn bars had us laughing, gagging, and giving them away – who wants a case? 😂🤢 But it gets real: We dive into the Total Health Challenge – how 7 minutes of silence, focused spousal talks, workouts, and journaling are transforming our marriage. Jason shares a raw story from counseling about resolving small unresolved issues before they fester (unlike those tamales). We explain why pushing through excuses like "I can't sit in silence" is key – it clears the clutter so Holy Spirit can speak! Then, the main event: A deep, passionate discussion on speaking in tongues and baptism in the Holy Spirit. Is it essential for salvation? NO – but it's POWER for living boldly as witnesses (Acts 1:8). We break down biblical foundations from Genesis to Pentecost, Tower of Babel, and how tongues restores heaven's language on earth. Praying in the Spirit builds you up (Jude 1:20), intercedes when you can't (Romans 8:26), and empowers you to love the unlovable – family, friends, even "enemies" in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and beyond. Jasmine shares a fresh story of Holy Spirit prompting her to pray for a stranger, leading to a divine encounter. Tongues isn't weird gibberish; it's the tongues of men and angels (1 Cor. 13:1), yielding your tongue to God's divine nature for maximum impact! Whether you're weird-food curious, health-chasing, or Spirit-hungry, this ep will crack you up and challenge you. Stick around – the funny's up front, but the Jesus talk is life-changing! 🙌 🔥 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doinglifetogetherpodcast/ Jason: https://www.facebook.com/jgshirley Tiffany: https://www.facebook.com/tshirley3 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doinglifetogetherpodcast/ Jason: https://www.instagram.com/jgshirley Tiffany: https://www.instagram.com/tiffanyshirley Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@doinglifetogetherpodcast Jason: https://tiktok.com/@jasongshirley Tiffany: https://tiktok.com/@tiffanyshirley Subscribe to us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@doinglifetogetherpodcast Check out our church: https://www.wolcarlsbad.com

PigeonFest, Boots and Dealing with Conflict

Welcome to the Doing Life Together podcast, where we’re keeping it real, raw, and relatable! 🎙️ In this episode, we dive into the wild world of Pigeon Fest 2025 in NYC (yes, it’s a thing, and yes, it’s as bizarre as it sounds 🐦). We share our hilarious (and slightly terrified) reactions to this bird-filled celebration, discuss why pigeons are... let’s just say not our vibe, and explore the quirky side of National Pigeon Day. But it’s not all feathers and chaos! We get serious about navigating conflict in today’s divided world, reflecting on the heartbreaking assassination of Charlie Kirk and how it’s stirred up emotions across the board. Drawing from scriptures like James 1, Proverbs 15, Matthew 18, and Psalms 34, we talk about resolving conflict with love, grace, and intentionality—because division is not the way of Jesus. 🙏 Plus, we sprinkle in some fun moments: updates on our Total Health Challenge, and a few laughs about stolen boots, fantasy football wins, and why Crocs are the ultimate weekend vibe. Join us as we navigate life’s highs, lows, and everything in between!
