Welcome to the Youth Ministry Sherpas Coast to Coast Podcast, featuring Brock Morgan, Shannon Dunn, and Steve Anderson. We call ourselves "Sherpas" because we have over 80 years combined experience leading ministries. It's "Coast to Coast" because we serve on opposite ends of the country (Steve in Maryland; Shannon and Brock in California). We love students, we love youth ministry, and we love encouraging youth workers! Vulnerable, winsome, insightful -- think of it like another road trip in a 15-passenger van with your best friends. It's "Youth Ministry with the windows down!" Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Our Story, Calling, and the Heart of the Sherpas (Episode 37)
The Sherpas Podcast has been around since 2017, and we’ve had the privilege of interviewing dozens of amazing youth pastors and legends over the years. So it was nice to have the tables turn toward us for a change. We were invited to be guests on the Momentum Ministry Partners Podcast with Eric Miller. Brock couldn’t make it, but Shannon and Steve had a great conversation about why we love youth ministry, youth pastors, and students. We thought we’d share it here just for fun. <br /><br />Momentum Ministry Partners<a href="https://buildmomentum.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://buildmomentum.org</a><br />Give us a 5-star review on iTunes.<br /><br /><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youth-ministry-sherpas-coast-to-coast/id1333665959" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youth-ministry-sherpas-coast-to-coast/id1333665959</a><br />We are proud members of the Download Youth Ministry Podcast Network <a href="https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.downloadyouthministry.com</a> <br /><br />Watch us on YouTube! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@youthministrysherpasC2C" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@youthministrysherpasC2C</a><br /><br />Email us at youthministrysherpas@gmail.com<br />Follow us on Instagram!<br /><br />Give us a 5-star review on iTunes.<br /><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youth-ministry-sherpas-coast-to-coast/id1333665959" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youth-ministry-sherpas-coast-to-coast/id1333665959</a><br /><br />We are proud members of the Download Youth Ministry Podcast Network <a href="https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.downloadyouthministry.com</a> <br /><br />Watch us on YouTube! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@youthministrysherpasC2C" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@youthministrysherpasC2C</a><br /><br />Email us at youthministrysherpas@gmail.com<br />Follow us on Instagram!

Ear Buds, Trashy Music, and Teaching Kids Discernment (Episode 36)
We’ve all been there. We spent HOURS! prepping for youth group. We’ve written the message, prepared the small group questions, set up the chairs and the game, and prayed for the kids. And then… they walk in wearing ear buds as if they don’t give a hoot who else is there or what is being said.<br />Yes, we are annoyed, but this also might be an opportunity to learn more about what our students are listening to, what is influencing their hearts and spirits, and how we can speak into their ears (sans ear buds) with the voice of a trusted friend and mentor.<br />It’s a lively discussion, reminding us how old we are!<br />Give us a 5-star review on iTunes.<br /><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youth-ministry-sherpas-coast-to-coast/id1333665959" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youth-ministry-sherpas-coast-to-coast/id1333665959</a><br />We are proud members of the Download Youth Ministry Podcast Network <a href="https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.downloadyouthministry.com</a> <br />Watch us on YouTube! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@youthministrysherpasC2C" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@youthministrysherpasC2C</a><br /><br />Email us at youthministrysherpas@gmail.com<br />Follow us on Instagram!

When to Confront Students (Episode 35)
Youth ministry is messy work. Being involved in the lives of teenagers means we get to see the good and the bad. It’s easy to celebrate the good. It’s challenging to know what to do with the bad. All of us have had moments where we called kids out for their behavior, speech, or attitude. Not our favorite thing.<br /><br />In this episode, Brock, Shannon and Steve talk about when to confront students. How do we strike a balance between calling them to higher things, yet not policing them all the time? How do we do so with grace, love and truth? Add in watching their lives unfold on social media, and the pressure we feel to defend our ministry reputation, and it becomes overwhelmingly difficult.<br /><br />But what if we create an environment where confession is real? What if our default isn’t judgement but love? What if we are with them in the mess, what theologian Andrew Root calls “Place Sharing,” so they will see Jesus in us?<br /><br />There’s no perfect way, but there is a better way. We are looking for it in this conversation.<br /><br />Mentioned in this episode:<br />Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry by Andrew Root<a href="https://www.andrewroot.org/books/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.andrewroot.org/books/</a><br /><br />Give us a 5-star review on iTunes.<br /><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youth-ministry-sherpas-coast-to-coast/id1333665959" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youth-ministry-sherpas-coast-to-coast/id1333665959</a><br /><br />We are proud members of the Download Youth Ministry Podcast Network <a href="https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.downloadyouthministry.com</a> <br /><br />Watch us on YouTube! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@youthministrysherpasC2C" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@youthministrysherpasC2C</a><br /><br />Email us at youthministrysherpas@gmail.com
