Celebrating 100 episodes of The Word in Youth Ministry Podcast! Kyle Hoffsmith, Walt Mueller, and Chris Wagner all take a look back over some of their favorite moments and episodes. They look forward to what is to come and celebrate what God is doing through this podcast. They also offer encouragement to youth workers as they continue the awesome task of teaching the Bible to students. Here's to another 100 episodes!

Kyle invites veteran youth pastor John Kidd to join the podcast to discuss teaching about sex to students. John recently taught a series to his students on the topic, which he titled "Cheap Sex." John gives us insight into how he prepared for the series and some of the resources he turned to. He also helps us understand some of the differences between temptation and desire. They also tackle the idea that love is not affirmation as opposed to the cultural narrative that love is love. John also reminds us to know our audience, know the influences they are facing, and to know the parents of our students, so that we can tailor our teaching accordingly while always remaining anchored in God's Word.

Kyle invites youth pastors Ben Marshall and Marty Mandak, along with Aspen Ministry's Val O'Brien to join the podcast. Each tackle a statement from the 2025 Ligonier State of Theology Report and what it tells us about our culture, The Church, and our youth ministries. Based on the results of the survey, what holes do we need to fill in our teaching? What areas do we need a complete fix? These veteran youth workers tackle some difficult questions and how we can use this study to bring about lasting change in your youth ministry programs by clinging firmly to Scripture.
