Embrace the Awkward Podcast

In the inception episode of the ABC (awkward book club) DJ and Kyle review several very outdated books. Times have certainly changed, and it can be fun to look back and see the evidence of that.

This month, DJ and Kyle are talking about failed events. Have you ever been to a dramatically failed event? Maybe you've even put one on? These can be SO awkward and honestly are defeating. In this episode, you'll hear some funny stories (didn't seem funny in the moment, but sure are now) and some tips on how to better plan. The good news? God can use big and small events for His glory.

This month, we are covering some of our biggest fears in ministry. In this episode, we talk about MiStAkEs! If you are anything like DJ, you mess up a lot! (Kyle is perfect...) When we mess up from stage, or say something wrong, what do we do? Most of the time, it's a minor mistake. But reacting wrong in these moments can create an even bigger mess!

In episode 6, DJ and Kyle discuss preaching in "Big Church", as we youth workers call it, or preaching on Sunday Morning. There's no such thing as a wasted Sunday. It is good for us to preach in big church! But, should we ask? How do we ask? What are some tips to help you preach? You might face some obstacles, but the reward is worth it. Get ready, listening to this episode may cause comments after you preach like, "you should be a real pastor!"

DJ is finally married and he is now completely without excuses to post episodes! We're kicking off the return to our "every other week" programming, we're sharing our 2023 predictions! Now that we are half way through the year, we want to know, do you see these things playing out in your world? What trends are you seeing? Let us know on our instagram!
