Pastor With No Answers: The MIXTAPE Era

EP50 - The Old Youth Group Crew (Part 2): The Good, the Bad. The Hurt, the Beauty.

Joey Svendsen

[This episode was produced by Joey Svendsen and is joined by three friends from Joey's youth group days: Jon Bazzle, Gail Santavicca, and Billy Jones]

Part 1 can be
listened to or viewed on YouTube.

Joey shares how his "pure lifestyle" was celebrated amongst parents of other kids in youth group while inside, he felt overburdened by a never- ending, dark spiritual season, years on end. Jon wants to know what Joey actually cherishes from the old youth group days, Billy concurs that the guilt was excessive but the relationships were so dear to him, also traveled from Chicago last year just to be at the reunion.  Gail reflects back on what she describes as having had a feeling of unworthiness, especially when she was around the other Christians who appeared to have "their stuff" together.

Talking about our experiences as kids together, for the SECOND TIME as adults.
