"A high-school administrator, youth pastor, and a trauma counselor walk into a podcast studio" sounds like the making of a bad joke, but no funny business here! Well, maybe a little funny business...

This interview took place on October 20th, 2024.

"The Front Lines" Ep. 3: Home-Shooling, Dating and Parenting Reflections with the Alford Family

When you're a family of eight, the father's a pastor, and your six kids are scattered across various public, private and home school settings, you'd think the opportunity for Satan to seed division, jealousy and rebellion would be ripe... ...and yet, the Alfords are as united as they come. Through questions about dating, "siblingship," school, and expectations, listen to how the Lord has guided them every step of the way.

"The Front Lines" Season Kick-Off w/ Trista, Aubri, Beau, Lizzy + Surprise Guest

We kick-start a brand new season of "Homegrown" as we leave Injection behind and move to a new season, The Front Lines, where we talk to those who are on the, you guessed it, "front lines" of teenage life: high-schoolers, college kids, parents, youth pastors, guidance counselors, etc. In this episode, we ask four high-schoolers: 1. What are 3 things you experience that adults aren't fully aware of? 2. What are 2 things you think about more than anything else? 3. What is the biggest question you're still wrestling with in your personal walk with Jesus? "Lord, let this season be beneficial to anyone who's invested in the next generation of Jesus-followers!"

Episode 7: Injection Finale! Q5 - "The Ineffective God"

Why are the worst people I know Christians? If their God is like them, I want no part of Him or His religion! The Injection series comes to a close as we take on this final "Q." Todd Humbert (pastor of The Greenhouse church), Chase Toomey (music director at Greenhouse and math teacher at MCHS), Wendy Cook (youth leader at Relentless church), and Henry Cook (sophomore at MCHS) all hop on the episode to discuss what we can do as the church to keep from pushing non-believers further away from Jesus and instead bring them CLOSER to Him.
