#17 No One Told Me In High School (with Mike & Shari Gaffney) Feb 06, 2018

Show notes

Today, an exploration into the world of Young Life College/University and the lives of a few of those who have been drastically impacted by the ministry. With different ages and perspectives, our guests have one thing in common — no one told them in high school. Special thanks to Mike and Shari Gaffney (VP of Young Life College and University; Executive Admin of YLC/U). We're @younglife — hit us up with your YLC/U experience!

#16 The Whole Cup (with Lyn Ten Brink) Jan 30, 2018

Show notes

Does your leadership include building a culture where people are comfortable to learn? Do most leaders think of themselves as followers and learners — in addition to being leaders? Lyn Ten Brink (@lyn10brink) certainly does. Her beliefs about leadership, deeply rooted in scripture and experience, produce culture builders unafraid to ask questions. Where most lead to influence, Lyn also leads to learn. She discusses all that, YL Forward, training, and more. Follow along @younglifepod!

#14 Made For This (Part II) Dec 12, 2017

Show notes

Aswan Morris (Regional Director — Manhattan) is on the show to finish a conversation about building Young Life's future by looking closely at three pages from the past. The second installment of this episode includes a new special (surprise) guest of honor — someone who made history in Young Life and honored God in a way you do not want to miss. This episode concludes our investigation of Jeff Chesemore's Made For This, a book about Young Life. Here's to the next chapter in 2018, written by you. We're @younglifepod.

#13 Made For This (Part I) Dec 12, 2017

Show notes

Jeff Chesemore's (Senior Editor) book Made For This is packed with the radical history of Young Life. Today, Aswan Morris (Regional Director — Manhattan) joins the show to discuss how the past helps us build the future, including a drop in with a very special (surprise) guest of honor, straight from the pages of history. We're @younglifepod.

#12 Better Together (with Kristy Fox) Nov 28, 2017

Show notes

Instead of seeking balance, Kristy Fox (Regional Director — South Coast Region) creates margins in her life. Her experiences as a leader, a woman, and a mother in ministry allow us to hear a perspective becoming an organization where men and women are 'better together', and presents the opportunity to discuss how we might accomplish that goal mission-wide. We're @younglifepod on your favorite social media channel.

#11 A Retrograde Call (with Scott Berg) Nov 21, 2017

Show notes

Whose responsibility is it to start Young Life in places it doesn't exist? Upon investigating, we found the answer in an unexpected place. Join us in a conversation with Scott Berg (Regional Director — Moutain State Region) and a few special guests, as Young Life tackles what some call 'forgotten places' — we're @younglifepod, and we have a short newsletter. Keep pioneering!

#10 Kid, You're Going To Do Well (with Veronica Tutaj) Nov 07, 2017

#9 What's God's Favorite Color? (with Julie Clapp) Oct 31, 2017
