Unlearning Youth Group
Unlearning Youth Group
Jonathan Carone & Eric Williams
We take a look at all the things we learned back in youth group and find the good, unlearn the bad, and figure out where the heck we go from here.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Good songs from bad churches
In light of the Hillsong documentary, a listener reached out to us and asked how we should approach the music written from churches that ended up in scandal. Should we keep singing them in church? Is it okay to listen to them personally? Do we throw them out?Follow us on social:http://instagram.com/jonathan_caronehttp://instagram.com/ericw712https://www.tiktok.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.tiktok.com/@ericw712https://www.twitter.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.twitter.com/@ericw712Show theme song: High School - 90's Kids See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Two pieces, tankinis and t-shirts
Summer starts next week. That means lake days, pool parties, and beach camps. And if you're a girl - it means you need to go out and buy a one-piece bathing suit. But guys can wear whatever they want because, y'know, girls aren't visual.Follow us on social:http://instagram.com/jonathan_caronehttp://instagram.com/ericw712https://www.tiktok.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.tiktok.com/@ericw712https://www.twitter.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.twitter.com/@ericw712Show theme song: High School - 90's Kids See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Do we have to go to church?
It's 2022. With all the technological advances and decentralization, do we have to go to church anymore? What even defines 'church' at this point?Follow us on social:http://instagram.com/jonathan_caronehttp://instagram.com/ericw712https://www.tiktok.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.tiktok.com/@ericw712https://www.twitter.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.twitter.com/@ericw712Show theme song: High School - 90's Kids See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Is youth group even good?
This feels like a strange question to ask in the fourth season of a podcast about youth group, but was youth group even good? Did its positives outweigh its negatives? If so many of us are having to unlearn youth group, should we even be having youth group?Follow us on social:http://instagram.com/jonathan_caronehttp://instagram.com/ericw712https://www.tiktok.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.tiktok.com/@ericw712https://www.twitter.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.twitter.com/@ericw712Show theme song: High School - 90's Kids See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

BONUS - March Madness. Church edition.
It's March. We're between seasons. Hang out with us for 30-minutes while we debate made up church brackets from the @ChristiansWhoCurseSometimes Instagram account. It's silly and goofy and, given everything else going on in the world, we could all use a laugh.Follow us on social:http://instagram.com/jonathan_caronehttp://instagram.com/ericw712https://www.tiktok.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.tiktok.com/@ericw712https://www.twitter.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.twitter.com/@ericw712Show theme song: High School - 90's Kids See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Perverts and Princesses
In our culture, we treat boys like perverts and girls like princesses. In doing that, we strip away their identity as humans and don't allow them to fully be what they were created to be. Plus, y'know, purity culture issues.Follow us on social:http://instagram.com/jonathan_caronehttp://instagram.com/ericw712https://www.tiktok.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.tiktok.com/@businesscoachericShow theme song: High School - 90's Kids See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Homosexuality
Today's episode was a hard one to record. Not because we were scared of being canceled by progressives or called heretics by conservatives, but because we want to make sure we're being loving and kind as we wrestle through our beliefs on a really complicated issue. We invite you to join us for a longer-than-normal conversation about homosexuality, how the church has handled it in the past, and how we should approach it in the future.Follow us on social:http://instagram.com/jonathan_caronehttp://instagram.com/ericw712https://www.tiktok.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.tiktok.com/@businesscoachericShow theme song: High School - 90's Kids See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Christian dating is stupid
It started with I Kissed Dating Goodbye and went downhill from there. Ask anyone trying to date in their 30's and they'll tell you that yeah, what we taught about dating in youth group ended up with some pretty terrible results. This week we talk about why Christian dating is so stupid and how we can train the next generation to not be so awkward on the dating scene.Follow us on social:http://instagram.com/jonathan_caronehttp://instagram.com/ericw712https://www.tiktok.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.tiktok.com/@businesscoachericShow theme song: High School - 90's Kids See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Can boys and girls be friends?
It's February so like anything youth group related, we're kicking off four weeks of episodes centered around dating, relationships, and sex. This week we start with friendships and how we didn't teach kids how to be friends with the opposite sex, what that led to, and try to figure out how we do better moving forward.Follow us on social:http://instagram.com/jonathan_caronehttp://instagram.com/ericw712https://www.tiktok.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.tiktok.com/@businesscoachericShow theme song: High School - 90's Kids See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Doubts and Deconstruction Part 2
We continue our discussion on doubts and deconstruction in the church. This week we shift our focus to where we go from here and ask if deconstruction is the best route to tackle our doubts or if there's a better way.Follow us on social:http://instagram.com/jonathan_caronehttp://instagram.com/ericw712https://www.tiktok.com/@jonathan_caronehttps://www.tiktok.com/@businesscoachericShow theme song: High School - 90's Kids See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
