Youth Group Chronicles
195: Halloween, Haircuts & Hot Takes | After Hours Series (Cole Clark & Buddy Jenkins)
In this After Hours bonus episode, Sam is joined by Buddy Jenkins and Cole Clark for a chaotic mix of stories, opinions, and questionable life confessions. From Halloween memories and the wildest things they’ve seen in church, to debating unbelievers, dissecting homeschool culture (including peak homeschool moments and prom takes), and roasting each other’s hair phases, nothing is off-limits. They dive into hunting trip mishaps, argue about when Christmas lights should legally go up, reveal their favorite music artists and cafeteria foods, and even weigh in on Phillip Anthony Mitchell. It’s unfiltered, unplanned, and way too honest—just how After Hours should be.

Youth Group Chronicles
194: Welcome to the Splash Zone (Buddy Jenkins & John Scarborough)
This week on Youth Group Chronicles, Sam is joined by Buddy Jenkins and John Scarborough for a lineup of stories that prove youth ministry is never predictable. From a late-night “attempted kidnapping” that spiraled into a full parent meltdown, to a mysterious intruder shoving students awake in the middle of the night, to a kid secretly producing an entire army of paper cut-out gingerbread criminals, things escalate fast. Sam also hears a story about a pastor’s parent meeting that goes wildly off the rails, a prayer moment that takes an extremely unfortunate turn, and a youth leader whose attempt to maintain order crosses a few too many lines. But nothing tops the chaotic moment that turns an innocent youth event into a full-blown splash zone—courtesy of one fearless middle schooler. Tune in and prepare to be concerned for humanity.
