 SYM Show: It's Too Hot....Somebody Turn On The A.C.! | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

Kurt misses his first show ever (he says it's because he was out helping an old lady cross the street), and nobody cares because A.C. is in the house! On this episode A.C. and Jason discuss transitioning children from the kids ministry to the youth group, how to calendar and plan, parents taking advantage of you, the myth of keeping up the pace and the fact that A.C.'s daughter is quickly becoming picky and pricey!

 SYM Show: Hug It Out! | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

The guys dig into more mail from the Youth Ministry Nation and tackle questions about when to make changes, how to handle an unsupportive church, dating tips and more. Plus...an incredibly awkward hug.

 SYM Show: Headbangers, Worship Divas and Theology! | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

The Youth Ministry Nation mailbox is overflowing with emails so the guys are taking the next three episodes to catch up! This week, questions and conversation flow fast and furious....which makes sense in light of Kurt's occasional insistence that he looks like Vin Diesel (mostly just the arms).

 SYM Show: The E's Have It! | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

This week, Jason commits the unforgivable sin: He badmouths George Lucas. In the meantime, Kurt isn't even sure who George Lucas is. As for youth ministry discussion....the guys tackle portions of a topic that is a constant challenge in youth ministry; creating a healthy volunteer ministry culture. As Kurt rambles off some of his thoughts, a disturbing trend is identified.

 SYM Show: The Aftermath | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

What do you do after a big event like a youth ministry conference of camp? How do you avoid losing the "mountain top" high? Should you avoid losing it? In addition to this rich discussion, Kurt saddles up his horse and we learn first-hand why Jason is a drummer, not a singer.

 SYM Show: Why Are You Watching This When There's A Sweet Conference Going On? | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

In honor of the Simply Youth Ministry Conference happening this weekend, Kurt and Jason share some of their tips for making the most out of attending a conference. A.C. gets a gift from a sponsor even though he's hardly ever on the show and Kurt hits a basketball shot even Michael Jordan would be proud of.

 SYM Show: Marriage, Ministry & Sexy Time! | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

Dr. Tim Levert joins the guys via Skype to share three marriage and ministry tips. Also on this episode Jason riffs about Star Wars and Kurt doesn't care, there is a celebrity sponsor and the ongoing bet over the previous usage of the fancy black chairs is settled!

 SYM Show: You're Outta Here! | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

The focus on this episode is all about preparing your ministry for your absence....whether it's because you have to call in sick on a Wednesday night or because you are leaving the church. The big question: Can your youth ministry survive without you? Apparently Kurt has some feelings about this issue because he climbs up on a soapbox and has a hard time coming back down. But at his height, it's impressive he was able to climb up there in the first place.

 SYM Show: Mailapalooza! | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

The mailbox is full of questions from the Youth Ministry Nation and, for once, Kurt and Jason manage to stay focused long enough to get through a few of them. The wisdom and wit dripping from this dynamic duo is a sight to behold....not really, but we needed to make this week's show description a little longer so we added that part.

 SYM Show: Oh, Strander! | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

The guys still haven't got Skype completely figured out...and it shows. But that doesn't stop them from bringing in the one and only Jason Ostrander (the brains behind all things Simply Youth Ministry) for an interview via the technology of the world wide interweb thingy. They talk about lots of stuff, but mostly about the upcoming Simply Youth Ministry Conference and why YOU need to be there!

 SYM Show: Happy Birthday Kurt! | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

It was Kurt's birthday this week and nobody remembered to mention it on the show. So this week's title is our attempt to put salve on his old man wounds. On this episode, the guys address the ongoing chair saga as well as share a few of their favorite teaching tips.

 SYM Show: I Need A Job! | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

On this episode, Kurt and Jason are determined to get through the mailbox... but only get through two question (hey, that's progress!). They both share some nuggets of wisdom to new youth workers looking to land their first ministry position.

 SYM Show: You First, AC | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

The mailbag is full with questions and input from the youth worker nation! AC joins the guys and is asked to be the first to chime in on a tough, but very important, issue. We're not sure they really ever answer the question... but they give it a shot! For a little more in-depth look at this topic, here is a recent blog post from AC http://yoacblog.com/2013/01/03/im-gay/

 SYM Show: Party Like it's 2013 | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

The show hits the ground running as it welcomes in the new year. On this show the guys share their favorite ministry memories from 2012 and a few goals for the new year. Jason whines that Kurt isn’t a hugger and the guys get some high-dollar sunglasses!

 SYM Show: Child, Please! | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

Steven Adams, Saddleback's Kids Ministry Pastor, pops in unexpectedly so Kurt and Jason change direction. The new topic? How can the children's and youth ministries of the church work together better? Hint: Puppets are not needed
