SPEAKER_04 0:00

Welcome to the New Life Podcast. We're so glad that you decided to join us again for another episode. I'm so glad to be here, man. Devin is amped up. He's fired up. I'm just I'm happy. You know, I just feel good. I got the joy of the Lord today. Yeah, it is. Today only, but no, you know what it is. What is it? We've had a little sunshine the last two weeks. That's it. Vitamin D. It'll it'll do you good. It increases the serotonin. It does? I don't know what that is. Makes you happy.

SPEAKER_05 0:29

You could say anything about that, and I would believe you.

SPEAKER_04 0:32

I'm like, cool. You're like, that's the thing that makes you go to sleep, isn't it? Yeah, dude. Serotonin. Serotonin. Dude, um, okay, so full transparency. We don't really have a plan for this podcast. We don't want to do that. Normally we do. Normally we do. We have an idea. I know it doesn't seem like it, but normally we do. Normally, yeah, normally we're just kind of off the cuff. Anyway, but we had something planned. We had an idea, and some other things came up. Schedules mixed around, and now we're here. But again, I'm just glad. I was thinking about it yesterday of like what the podcast, because you said we're on episode whatever, like 28. 28, so it's like it's past a half of a year where we've recorded and stuff. And like you guys know, because I'm texting you guys all the time, like, hey, we should do this idea. Mateo's always sending ideas and different stuff. And so I'm like, I just love it. I think it's fun. No, it's just good to be here. And then I was talking to somebody on Sunday, and again, guess what? Middle-aged woman. Um shocker. Um, but she was saying that it's it's fun because it's like we're hanging out. Like that's what a lot of people have said. It's like we're hanging out with them, like, but we're hanging out with each other and like talking and sharing stories and doing the whole deal. But it's like people think that we're like in their living room with them, which is cool. So that's the whole point.

SPEAKER_03 1:57

That's the whole point. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:58

Make a really good I mean that was the the idea of it all along, right? Was to be encouraging, uplifting, make people smile, yeah, and just show them kind of another side of us and church life and stuff like that. It's a lot of fun. Honestly, Mateo's really the only one that takes it seriously. I mean, he sends us, he sends us like legit Mateo sends us like legit like producer things in our group chat, and then not one of us. He edits every video.

SPEAKER_00 2:25

No, no, no. I mean, I mean in the group chat.

SPEAKER_04 2:27

I mean like stuff. In the prep stuff. No, they both work hard to get it done, and and you know, we make it happen.

SPEAKER_06 2:32

But like he sends us like these like little thawed out, like, hey, what do you guys think about this topic and this? And literally, we never respond seriously ever one time.

SPEAKER_03 2:44

Literally, and he'll do all the time, and then we'll still show up and be like, What are we talking about?

SPEAKER_05 2:50

I feel bad for you.

SPEAKER_00 2:51

Honestly, yesterday when he was texting us about what we had planned, and he was like, What about this?

SPEAKER_06 2:56

What about this? And everyone kept responding in the back of my mind. I was just like, This poor kid, like he I know he wants to be like, guys, shut up and tell me what it is you want to do, but we can't talk about what do you want to do?

SPEAKER_04 3:08

We can't help but just be sassy. No, but it works. It does. We were I think that I mean, I was talking to Pastor Mark about this, like just and uh oh, he's your dad. Okay, just kidding. But we were talking like just about like life and stuff and and work and everything. We were doing this. We were hanging out.

SPEAKER_02 3:27

He was like hang 10, brah. I was like, what's up, brah? How do you feel about working here?

SPEAKER_05 3:32

We were just talking about audibly listening. I was just doing the uh hang 10 symbol.

SPEAKER_04 3:38

Yeah, again, I'm I'm amped up. I'm I'm happy. Um, so and I was like, I was like, best job in the world, and he was like, Yeah, like best job in the world, and I was like, Yeah, like this is what we get to do. Like, this is so much fun. The other day we filmed that video for um uh crew night for crew night. Please go like that. It was funny, dude. And it was like me and Chrissy were talking about like ministry, you think it's like, oh, okay, on Sunday mornings, this is what it is, or it's it's getting coffee with people, or it's discipling people, or preaching, or leading, and then it was like, yeah, it's also like putting on a headband and acting like a silly person on a video for or like it's like a promo video or doing something, or or getting on a podcast and talking about it. And get it exactly, and it's like that's just fun, dude. It's just like it is the best job. Well, people always ask me, you know, they'll be like, Oh, where do you work? And I'll be like, Oh, I work at the the church, you know, and they'll be like, Oh, cool. Like, like full time, yeah, like and I'm like, yeah, and they're like, you don't do anything else?

SPEAKER_06 4:38

I'm like, well, no, I mean, you know, and so what like what do you what do you what do you do all week?

SPEAKER_04 4:43

Like, you know, I think, yeah, my wife asks me that question all the time. She's like, What are you doing? I'm like, She's like, What do you mean you're working? What is that actually? It also depends on the you know, some some weeks are busier and crazier than others, and some seasons are crazier, like summertime approaching now is insane. We literally have every single dude. The summer gets crazy, bro. I mean, we have Camp Crew Night, we have which, if you're a teenager, listen to this, go sign up for Camp Crew Night. We have the young adults conference, which we just announced this past week. It's gonna be sick. If you're a young adult, yeah, for young adults by young adults, I've heard. Yeah, but we'll be there. Um Debbie said that we have we got like 60 signups the day the day up. Yeah, we figured out though the sign up isn't it? That's not 60, that's 30. Probably 30 because of the uh Friday, Saturday. It's a double sign-up. So if you sign up for both days, yeah, so it's 30 and 30. Oh. So we gotta up that note. No, Chrissy said that she made it now. We're just talking about work stuff. Never mind. Now we're just yeah, in a staff meeting here. Yeah, sorry. No, never mind. Check that. But we have camp summer camps, we have camp here, camp away. I mean, the summertime is out of soul food will be back for our teenagers. Soul food. Yeah, we have our 632 club that runs throughout the year, which is 630 in the morning, which is crazy. But it's like no, in the summer, that's why we switched to Soul Food, yeah, okay. Which is our we just get the kids together, give them free lunch, and then um rip a DVO, which is awesome. Yeah, it's fun. It is ripping a good devotee, dude.

SPEAKER_01 6:16

But that is funny, like yesterday I was thinking I I didn't feel like I got anything done at work. I was like in your office all day. But like it was stuff like we talked about camp, we talked about crew night. I went downstairs, had to talk about some young adult stuff with Emma Kirsty. I was like, I didn't do anything yesterday. But I was just like, I didn't. But you did. But you did. It's like you have to cover all that stuff.

SPEAKER_04 6:33

Like it's like nailing down details. There's a lot of logistical things that people don't see behind the scenes. Like they just think like oh, alright, we just show up on Sunday and maybe but he le even like even like Mateo, like he's gotta you gotta pick the set list every week, you gotta make sure everybody's rehearsing, he's gotta figure out what key people like the songs in, like so like people just think we just kind of show up and it happens, but there's so much going on. Yeah. And I didn't I always like tell people this, I didn't realize when I like first got into ministry that a lot of it is like party planning almost. Like, I know it sounds weird. Yeah, logistical. Yeah, like the legit like I'm calling a bounce house place the other day, and I was at Home Depot this morning getting renting a generator, and it's like, okay, what is this? Like, I'm ordering balloons and trinkets on Amazon. It's like, oh, I'm just planning. Yeah, but our office is gonna look awesome when it's done. What office? Just kidding. I was like, what are you talking about? Me and Luke share an office. If you guys knew that. By choice. Yes, yes, by choice. We're the only people who share an office right now, probably. By choice. By choice. Yeah, they asked us, they were like, Do you want your own office? And we were like, No. No. You could have had this office. Yeah, I could have been. And this office. We could have made them share an office. Yeah, true. But instead, we sacrifice, we sacrifice daily for these two clowns. Not a sacrifice. No, not a office. Not a sacrifice. It's delightful. I'd choose it a thousand times over. That's great. We have a mini fridge and a TV.

SPEAKER_05 7:59

It's basically like we're college.

SPEAKER_02 8:00

It's a door room, let's go. Dude, we are roommates in college.

SPEAKER_05 8:05

Oh, dude, I can't wait for summer to hear this bitch. She's gonna be so bad. Dude, that is so funny, bro.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

I was I was listening to something the other day, and a guy called in and he he he was about to graduate college and he was asking the guys, he was like, uh he's like, I I just wanna know, like, is this like is this like peak life?

SPEAKER_06 8:28

Like when he's like, I'm gonna go out. He's like, I'm gonna graduate. Like right now, I like I live with my friends. I live I go to class like two hours a day. I have all this free time. Like, then I'm gonna leave and I'm gonna have to go to a nine to five. I'm gonna have to do this, do that, I gotta move out, I gotta buy my own groceries, I'm not gonna be able to live with my friends anymore. And he's like, like, is college like peak? And the guys that were that that he was asking, they were like, Yeah, 1000%.

SPEAKER_00 8:54

And he's like, College is not real life. Yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_06 8:57

Literally doesn't prepare kids for real life whatsoever. Like, it is the complete opposite of what real life is like is awesome.

SPEAKER_04 9:06

So the other day, Glenn, our he's in charge of our maintenance here at the church. He was he like made a comment about our podcast when I was talking about ding dongs and stuff, and I was like, dude, just just and he was like, Oh, now I had to go to the store and buy some ding dongs, like the hostess cakes or whatever they are. And I was like, in college, what I used to do, so my senior year of college, my like first semester, um, like I was working, so I was like making money. I was barely taking classes, I had chapel exemption because I went to Evangel, so I never had to go to chapel, and I had my own room, like I didn't have I had my suite mates that were like some of my best friends, and like I didn't really hang out with like a ton of people. I wasn't like I'm an outgoing person, but when I was in college, like a lot of the people that I used to hang out with, yeah. It's like I'm like, I don't like I'll see him when I see him, or we'll go to dinner, or like I used to enjoy like going to the cafeteria and like eating by myself. I know it sounds weird, but it's like we've said it before, he's that guy, dude. But I used to go and I'd go to like I'd go to class at like 8 a.m. or something like that, and then you'd come back, you'd take like a first nap for the day. Like you're just nine, you're back in your room at nine, you're taking a nap, you get up and go to lunch, come back to your room. Maybe if somebody's doing something, you go to the gym, go play basketball, do something else, come back, rip another nap, like afternoon nap. And then go to dinner with your friends, go do something fun, whatever, and then I would go back to my room. How am I not 437 pounds? I don't know. But I would go back and I'd I'd get like a half carton of milk, which I'm severely lactose intolerant. Like that's probably why.

SPEAKER_05 10:45

That's probably why, dude, because I was just pounding milk. Like I would get like a half gallon of milk, a box of Swiss rolls, the whole box, and then like a bag of the spicy nacho Doritos, and I would watch like Lord of the Rings or something like that. Like at three hour, and I would just sit in my room on my couch, I had a couch in front of my bed, and I would just sit there and eat. And then and then we'd go to Taco Bell, which is across the street, just rip it, and like I was like, man, what I could if I could go back for one day.

SPEAKER_00 11:15

It's crazy why you're it's crazy why you have so many stomach issues.

SPEAKER_04 11:18

Yeah, dude, that's true, bro. But it was like that, and the those are like the fond memories like that I remember, and I don't know why that is like something.

SPEAKER_00 11:26

It's a peak season in a in a in a young man's life.

SPEAKER_04 11:30

Yeah, it is. It's like nostalgia. It's like, man, if I could take two naps and eat a whole box of Swiss rolls right now, that's what I want for Father's Day.

SPEAKER_01 11:39

Tell me to relive college.

SPEAKER_04 11:41

It's just to relive college. Yeah, like kids are like crying outside of everyone. I'm like, leave me alone, I'm eating my Swiss rolls and watching Lord of the Rings. Yeah, dude. Yeah, that sounds an ideal. I used to put the Planet Earth DVD in every night. I'm sorry. Oh man. David Attenborough would put me to sleep like a small child being read to. It was amazing, dude. It was the best. Oh man.

SPEAKER_05 12:07

Playing some FIFA, listening to Colby Collet.

SPEAKER_04 12:09

Listening to Colby Collet, little planet Earth in the background. Go across the street to family video, rent five five movies for a dollar. Dude, family video. What a time to be a lap. What a time. Go to McAllister's for happy hour and get a dollar iced tea. Yeah. Now we're talking to the city. Dude, we used to do the half-priced apps at Apple. Yeah. You go and just rip like 40 boneless wings. I was telling Brody the other day because me and Brody went to uh the Walmart in Stratford. Yeah. I wouldn't recommend it. Um, it was they have like a gate at the front.

SPEAKER_06 12:52

Dude, I'm I'm shocked they didn't have a metal detector. Uh so we went in there.

SPEAKER_03 12:57

Gate on the wall.

SPEAKER_06 12:58

Because it was closest to where we were. And we needed a lot of things.

SPEAKER_03 13:01

They're checking receipts. You know, something's up, dude.

SPEAKER_06 13:03

That guy didn't even he looked at my this is my favorite part. He goes, I walk over and I give the guy the receipt, and he looks at the receipt, and he's like, Alright, you're good. And I'm like, you didn't look in the back. Like you didn't know if the receipt matched what I this is a receipt. People are handing him sticky nodes and stuff.

SPEAKER_04 13:21

He's like, uh, we're gonna need to talk to you in the bed.

SPEAKER_06 13:24

It was wild.

SPEAKER_04 13:25

But on the on the way out to the car, I was like telling Brody, I was like, man, if you think that was crazy, I was like, Northside when we were 24-hour Walmart. We used to go there at like three in the morning just to people watch. Yeah, it's crazy. Absolutely insane. We when I was in college, this kid, when I was at SAGU, this kid Steven, he was like, he was super southern, but he was like, if you he's like, if you believe it, like, or if you're confident enough, you can get away with a lot. Like, and we're like, what are you talking about? And he would like fill up his shopping cart and just like leave.

SPEAKER_03 14:04

He would just leave.

SPEAKER_05 14:06

And we're like, dude, you're not gonna pay for that. Like that stealing. He's like, did anybody stop me? Like, I don't, I don't know why this is a good Christian school advertiser there. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_04 14:16

He would just like fill it up and be like, Where'd you get that that case of water? He's like, Oh, I just put it in my cart. He's like, You get you're confident enough, you can get away with a lot. You're like, exactly. It's kind of a life principle. That is that's what we're gonna talk about today. Being confident, being confident in shoplifting. Here we go. No, the thing, okay. So again, I know we said we had no ideas, but it made me think of so right now it's Tuesday, right before Mother's Day when we're filming this, but this will come out the day after Mother's Day. And so in youth, we have our Mother's Day bake sale, which is this amazing fundraiser that so many people put on. Yolanda, shout out, yeah, yeah. Like, I don't know if you listen or not, but she has this amazing team of volunteers and parents, and she organizes the whole thing. And and her and Chrissy, they do an amazing, amazing job of of making it seem more which it is, like it's legit baking. Like some of these things that you buy, it's like the wrapping, everything. It's phenomenal, but it's like it's it's more than just a fundraiser, it's like every single year, it's the mission of of Yolanda, it's the mission of Chrissy to to make it this amazing thing that blesses our students. And so like I'm pumped up because every single year thousands of dollars gets again donated and given to to our ministry. And the cool thing about this year is it's going all of our money, like we've talked about it, is is going to help kids go to summer camp. And so I was like, yo, let's share like some stories from summer camp, like if we can today. Like, yeah, I always think of what why are you pointing out? I got one of the oh, you got one. So we can share, we can share serious stuff, but we can share like funny stuff as well. But I was like, Camp for those of you who don't know, like we're gonna put up a promo video that Spencer made on our social media so you can go and check it out of what camp is like and like what happens. Like it's it's so much fun. It's up in Romney, New Hampshire. Um, it's churches from our district, which is southern New England, which is Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Um, and we there's for senior high, which is our ninth through twelfth graders, there's like 300, 400 kids every single year, and we're split up into teams, and it's intense. Like it's not like there's nothing like camp. There's nothing like camp. It's not like, oh, we're just going, and the services are awesome and super impactful, and we'll talk about that in a second. But it's like there's you're split up into teams and the competition's fierce. Like it's legit. It's if you get the right leader. If you get the right leaders, if you get the right people, like but you go and compete and you have fun and all this different stuff. And um, and so this year we have the opportunity that the money that we raise will get to give to our kids. Camp gets expensive, and and we gotta get the kids there. We gotta buy a or buy a bus. We gotta rent a bus.

SPEAKER_03 17:00

If we bought a bus, that'd be really cool.

SPEAKER_04 17:02

But if you want to donate a bus, we made enough money at the big sale and buy a bus.

SPEAKER_05 17:06

Buy a whole bus. I sure I'm sure we could find a school bus.

SPEAKER_04 17:10

Yeah, oh yeah, but it's ridiculous. So, and it's it's just like it's it's the best. And so now we'll get to send a bunch of kids to camp and now have this experience of life-changing for for us, life-changing for people. Um, and we've seen kids who they were not really on fire for Christ, they're not super excited about their relationship with him, barely come into youth group or church, and then they get saved and their life is like completely turned around.

SPEAKER_06 17:38

Which is yeah, camp is one of those things that there's some things in life where you know you tell people like you you you won't know you won't know it until you you won't know how awesome it is until you experience it, right? Like you could tell people you need to go to camp and you show them the video and they're like, Oh, that looks like fun, and you're like, No, no, no, no, you don't understand. Yeah, it you you gotta go. Like, once you go, I don't think I've ever I might be talking out of both sides of my mouth, but I don't think I've ever seen a kid that was like, I don't know if I want to go, go, and then not want to go back to next year.

SPEAKER_04 18:14

Yeah, rarely. Maybe, maybe like a small, small percentage. It's like a 90 plus percent of like there's been kids who get like homesick and they're like, I don't know, but yeah, well they're wimps. Yeah, we're not gonna talk about those kids. But um like when Mateo called his mom that one summer. Not true. Didn't happen. Just kidding. Not true. No, it's it's listen, if you're uh I don't know how many teenagers listen to this, I don't, but I'm no there's parents of teenagers that listen to it, especially all the middle-aged moms with teenagers. Um you gotta get your kid to camp. Oh, yeah. Even if they don't want to go, just send them. And now it's gonna be discounted because of the you know, the bake sale and everything. Like it, it is life-changing. I mean, obviously, I was called to ministry at camp, and you know, you had your moments at camp. We've all we've all had our moments where God has you know wrecked us and woke us up at the altar and stuff like that, but just the connections that you make and the memories that you make. Like I have memories from when I went to camp, I have memories from when I was a counselor, I have members memories from when I was uh you know on the staff of it, like uh all different levels uh of it. It's just the absolute best. Yeah, and I regretted because like when I was in high school, I always regret not going because I went like my freshman year or something like that, and then after that, I would always work over the summer, and so that's another thing. If you're like a parent, you're like, Oh, my kids gotta work, they gotta do this. Let them go for the week to camp. It's literally four days, five days, four or five days off of work. They can make up the time when they get back, but it's like it's it's so fun. And I'm like, I wish I did more of it when I was physical. Remember that year that what was that, your eighth grade year? Dude, I was telling, I told the kids actually a couple of weeks ago. Oh my god. Yeah, so one year, so I'll tell two. We won by like 200,000 points. Dude, we didn't lose a game. No, it was it was the before now it's you have to finish ninth grade and then you can go to or finish, yeah, finish ninth grade before you can go to senior high camp. Back then they gave you the option of if you finish eighth grade, do you want to go to junior high camp or do you want to go to senior high camp? And most of us were in eighth grade, and I got a few of my friends from school who didn't really come to youth group. I was like, yo, you guys gotta come to camp. Like it's the best, it's so much fun. And so we had like a whole group of guys, and then we got paired up with another church with like these super athletic girls. Yeah, and it was like our team turned into like a super team. We were like we were the Avengers, dude!

unknown 20:42

No!

SPEAKER_00 20:43

Did that just happen? Did that just happen?

SPEAKER_04 20:46

Dude. Oh man, then Luke was like Iron Man, he was like in charge of everybody, dude. It was it was sick, and so Luke was our team leader, and we we went and we did not like every game that we played dominated because we're all like we're playing against fifth graders in some of these games. It's like the monsters. We were it was it was brutal, dude. And so yeah, we won by like I want to say like yeah, over a hundred thousand points. Yeah, we we won awesome.

SPEAKER_06 21:14

We won the last relay.

SPEAKER_04 21:15

The police on the last team. Yeah, like 45 minutes before the next one we were drawn, like it was we were drawing pictures by the time the next team got in. We had packed all of our stuff and got home before the other teams were done with the pony exchange. It was crazy, it was unfair. It might have been the greatest beatdown in the history of camp. In the history of camp, and then we went to high school camp the next year and lost. But no, but this other story that I wanted to share was when we were in high school that one year at summer I went, um, we got put in like this bigger cabin. I guess so. We got put in like like normally it's like this little cabin that's all one room, and we got put in this other cabin that it had specific bedrooms, and then in the middle of the room It was like a house, it was like a house with a living room in the middle. Um and so and like a little yeah, like kitchen area and different stuff. Oh, the green cabin. The green cabinets that you go now, by the now, so we got put in that one, and it was Luke again was our counselor, and it's just a bunch of dudes, and we're just having a good time, having fun. And so somebody had the idea of let's take some of these mattresses, put them in the living room, and we can do MMA. Like everyone. They called it Fight Club. We did call it Fight Club. Um, and the first rule about Fight Club was do not talk about fight club. Which we just broke. Which we broke. Um, but that's in the past. We didn't break while we were there though. No, we did not talk about it. And it was like every single night, dude. You're like during the day, you're like calling out the other kids. Like, in it'd be like, meet me in my cabin, dude. Tonight we're gonna wrestle. We're gonna fight. Yeah. And so like we're fighting each other. There was like a fight.

SPEAKER_06 22:49

We had like a c like how they have a card for a box, like for it was like, dude, tonight Devin's fighting Vinny, and after that, Evan is fighting Drew. But I think so.

SPEAKER_05 22:59

I think we did. I think Evan was like our announcer, and he was like, yeah, and we would just like fight each other.

SPEAKER_04 23:05

And it got to the point where we had this kid, Zach, Zach Martini. Shout out, shout out Zach. He was a big, bigger kid, like he's still a very large man. Yeah, no, he would demolish you. Yeah, he looks like the Hulk. Um, so and it's like he was fight, and so he was really big and he wrestled when he was in high school, I believe, right? We had a leader from another team. It was Kevin's. It's Kevin Zurika, dude. A union. He was like, I heard that that kid's undefeated.

SPEAKER_05 23:31

Like, I want to come and fight him. And he came back. He was the grown man, and he showed up. He was like, I gotta be quick, guys. My kids are in the cabin.

SPEAKER_03 23:38

I knock out to wrestle another kid. To wrestle a child. Like, he was like, yo, what is happening? So awesome. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 23:47

So that's what camp is. Um I was like, You might have to wrestle an adult. No, that's not.

SPEAKER_06 23:55

You gotta get the right leader. But camp is because there are some leaders that are way too uptight that would have never let you guys know.

SPEAKER_04 24:01

Yeah, no fun. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 24:03

Man, that was we have videos somewhere of that.

SPEAKER_04 24:05

There's a there's a promo video of it. Kevin made a fight club promo video. Dude, we should get it and shoot it. On his iPhone, dude. Dude, and we're all like, yeah, in middle school and high school. It was great. It was awesome. Yeah. Oh there's what a time to be alive. That was everybody was there.

SPEAKER_00 24:21

SPEAKER_04 24:32

That was so. No. His name is Tommy Pensiero, but we used to call him Pickles.

SPEAKER_01 24:37

From uh, what's that from? Rugrats. Oh my gosh. Spencer knows exactly what story I'm gonna say. So this is I believe this is the most unspiritual pot ever. It's all right. We do well. We do well. Yeah, go ahead. Um, Drew, it was our it was Drew's first year being our counselor.

SPEAKER_05 24:56

Why are you let Drew go as a leader? Dude, he was an awesome counselor.

SPEAKER_01 25:00

He was, he was, dude. He almost got a youth master.

SPEAKER_06 25:02

Didn't you guys win that year?

SPEAKER_01 25:04

The second year, yeah. Oh no, that was the year he got robbed. That was the first year. Let's not talk about it. Drew, I'm sorry I brought it up.

SPEAKER_06 25:09

So he gets real fired.

SPEAKER_05 25:12

He's gonna be so.

SPEAKER_06 25:14

He's gonna text us immediately and go, why did you bring that up? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:17

Well, there's there's two stories that I'm thinking about it.

SPEAKER_05 25:19

I'm just gonna give out of the first one. The first one I don't know if it's like your thing, if I'm thinking, I don't know if you can share the one after you should have.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

Okay, I'll I'll just I'll I'll I'll be safe. So the second story We got his permission. He was asking Drew all week. He Drew bought this big box of Pop Tarts, and he's like, dude, can I have one cabin? Drew's like, no, dude, like I bought these for myself, like I'm gonna eat them. And Spencer's like, oh, like whatever, whatever. So Friday, like you're cleaning up the cabin, you got your assignments, we're packing up whatever, and there's one Pop Tart left. Spencer sees it in the corner. He's like, dude, can I have it? And Drew's like, Alright, fine, like whatever you can have it. He's like, but you have to finish packing first. He's like, Alright, cool, I gotta finish packing. Dude, I destroyed that pop tart. I was so hungry. And Spencer saw me like finishing it. He's like, Are you are you? I've never seen him more mad, dude. He threw me, I was horizontal to the wall. He picked my whole body up and chucked me.

SPEAKER_03 26:17

You know, mad about a pop tart. You were thinking about it all week. All week, all week.

SPEAKER_01 26:25

You're salivating. Yeah, I didn't have any snack. It was a bad one, too. It was the strawberry one, dude. Dude, the strawberry one hurts my mouth. No, that's a brown sugar. Frosting or no frosting. You can tell the first one. I can tell the first one. Okay, okay. It's it's not that bad. So, bro, you gotta be up pretty early for breakfast. Like, breakfast is at like 8 30. So you have to you can't share this. You have to be up. You gotta be up. So sometimes you gotta shower. Like, so you know, lead as a leader and now understanding Drew's perspective, he's like, guys, you gotta get up, you gotta get up, you gotta get up, like we gotta go. Spencer's like, uh uh, like I'm not gonna get up. I don't wanna get up, I don't want to get up. Drew's like, if you don't get up, I'm gonna rip that sleeping bag off of you and and make sure that you're cold so that you have to get up. And Spencer's like, not responding.

unknown 27:12

This is just fine.

SPEAKER_05 27:13

We're gonna have to cut this.

SPEAKER_01 27:16

Drew rips off his sleeping bag and his bare butt cheeks are turning down. But but his pants weren't all the way down.

SPEAKER_00 27:32

So the sleeping bag grabbed the pants on the what?

SPEAKER_05 27:37

No idea. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_04 27:39

Oh my gosh. Yeah, dude, this one. We're gonna have to reshoot tomorrow. Somebody's gonna go arrest Drew after this.

SPEAKER_01 27:49

That's crazy. Uh dude, camp. There's so many, so many camp memories. It's core.

SPEAKER_00 27:55

It's it's core, I mean, not his butt cheeks, but like it's it's cool, it's core memories of like, you know, you some of us will be, you know, 60 years old.

SPEAKER_06 28:07

I mean, I my dad still talks about his moments at camp. My mom still talks about her moments at camp.

SPEAKER_00 28:14

Yeah, when you throw the throw the wood and scream and stuff. Like it just he would just he did this stupid scream when he was in high school, and I thought it was the funniest thing. Because he loved it. Because there's like houses all around camp, you know, and so he'd take a piece of wood and he would just throw it in the screen in the woods, and he'd be like, ah, like you just do the scream, and I'd be like one o'clock in the screen, do the scream, do the scream. It was stupid.

SPEAKER_06 28:35

But it's it's like lodged in my brain, and then on top of that, right, are the moments uh if I can try my best to bring this all back, is is the moments right that that I have that are core memories from when I was a student of moments at the altar, whether it was a song that was played or a pastor that was preaching or uh someone that prayed over me or whatever, and then the moments as a leader of like yes, throwing sticks in the woods and screaming, and yes, making kids get out of bed, and you know, throwing we threw a kid's mattress in the lake one time, like sure, there's tons of those core memories, but then it's like, man, that same kid that I threw the mattress in, like we had our arm, like we were arm in arm, like weeping at the altar, or the same kid that I made throw the stick in the woods, like I got to lay hands on and pray for and have a moment with, or watching, or then being in a leadership role towards the the end of my time at camp of like watching other people lead, like like you're talking about Drew being a counselor, like that one summer when I was in more of a leadership role.

SPEAKER_04 29:42

Like Drew was there as a counselor, and Vinny was uh Baldoni was there as a counselor, with uh Avi was there as a counselor, Devin was there as a guy. So, like seeing that and then watching them pray over other kids and stuff like that, like the progression and just how awesome we I don't even think we planned to talk about camp until you just said that, but like now all the memories are just flooding into my mind, and it's like it's just the it's the best on every level, yeah. And then there's like things that like they're like the super inconvenient stuff sometimes. Like with camp, like the food is not great. So it's like the snack bars. Or like, yeah, you're in like some room and there's no AC, you're in like a cabin and you gotta walk a mile back over to where you are, and it's like, but it's all that from us like growing up and then now being back, because like obviously we still go and we we Mateo was a counselor last year, and then now we work on rec and and do different stuff like that, but it's it's all like the nostalgia of it. It's so much fun.

SPEAKER_01 30:43

Sorry, I gotta hear it up. I'll see if I can find it. I found a picture of like I haven't been here that that long. Like I've been around new life, but it's only been 11 years, 12 years. That's a long time. That's a long time to be in church. But but like Spencer's been here, Emma's been here like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You weren't born here, like relatively. Um and like sometimes I just forget like you were my youth pastor. I found a picture of like you praying over me at camp and stuff, um, which was super cool. Um so it's cool, like those moments like that. Like last year, Vanessa was my female counselor with me on the team. And every Wednesday I'd ask her, I'd be like, You ready for camp? She's like, Yeah, I think so. I'm like, oh, no, you're not. Wrong answer. Yeah and she get freaked out. She's like, Are you serious? Yeah, but it was it's like it was so cool seeing her interact with a bunch of girls that she's never interacted with that intimately in youth, and then coming back and like still seeing like Julie coming up to Vanessa or Linda coming up to Vanessa and like oh my gosh, like, hey like how are you doing? Like all that stuff. Um game's awesome.

SPEAKER_04 31:45

You bond, you you create I think it I think part of it is, and this is a deeper conversation for another time of of how our culture is now with the cell phones and with this and that. When you get to a place like that and you're you're removed like from that, right? Like there's no there's no cell phones, there's no going to the mall with my friends, there's no sitting wasting away scrolling.

SPEAKER_06 32:10

It's literally you're there and you make what you want of it. You can either have an awesome time or you can sulk and be miserable about it. But if you if you lean into it, especially as a leader, man, that is like you want to talk about being like like Vanessa, you want to talk about being uncomfortable at first. Try walking into a cabin full of you know, like 12 boys, and you only know four of them or something.

SPEAKER_04 32:34

That was like one year that we went. It was like you were our leader, and it was like me and two other kids from our youth group, and then we had a bunch of kids from East Hartford that were on our team that you like you don't know.

SPEAKER_06 32:43

And so you got like leaning into that and just saying, like, all right, I'm here, and that's why I said it's cool on every level because I think when you strip all that away, you build core memories with people, yeah. You build core experiences because you're there, and then you also build core memories with God because you're really everything's just kind of stripped away. So it's like I either I either gotta get to know these people and let them get to know me, or I either gotta let God know me. Yeah, I gotta do that. I'm gonna have the worst week possible, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 33:15

Or I'm gonna be forced to be put in that situation anyway. Like I think of and like it's the same I just said with retreat, like when we go to our retreat, that's only a couple days. Winter once the winter one, but it's like the other thing is, and that's what I told my wife like when I got back, was like I'm like always emotional when it when it comes to like the youth stuff, like because that's just what it is. Like the pastor talked about it, it's like compassion for our teenagers. Like, when I just think about them, I just get like again compassionate for them and and everything. But it was like you're also so exhausted, like that from like the build-up of what it is, like you're saying, is like, are you ready for camp? Are you ready for camp? Like you're mentally, emotionally, spiritually trying to prepare for it, then you're also physically exhausted throughout the week that it's like and you're away from everything, and all the build-up from all the other junk in your life that you're just carrying with you there. It's like once you get that opportunity to release that, like it's like it's therapeutic in a way, you know what I mean? It's like it's it's this it's and you're in this environment where it's everybody's doing the same exact thing, like everybody else is doing and not it that doesn't matter if you're a leader, that doesn't mean it matters if you're a pastor, it doesn't matter if you're a on staff for the camp or you're a camper. Like it's like we're all there for that reason, and it's all it's a centralized focus, it's this exactly, it's this big experience for everybody, and so it's cool. But there's like yeah, like you said, there's kids like remember you it was like you and Jake were on my team and we were team Instagram or whatever a few when you were young, young. And so I saw the pictures of that the other day, and we had a bunch of kids that we they were from a a church in Massachusetts.

SPEAKER_00 34:58

Yeah, I don't remember what church.

SPEAKER_04 35:00

I don't remember, like Malden, I think it was. I think they were from Malden, Massachusetts, and I saw Jason, one of the kids on our team at YouthCon last year, like and it was like oh, and he was like, What's up, Deb?

SPEAKER_07 35:10

Like, how's it going?

SPEAKER_04 35:11

And he's like a youth leader now, and I'm like, he's like getting married and all this different stuff. And it was like, yeah, it's like that's crazy, but it was fun. It's so wild. But it's like this bond that, yeah, like you said, we have forever. Like, because of what's his fit? Our our superintendent, Nick Fotado, his son was in our fight club, too. He was in the Alex Club, Alex, dude. Okay, it was awesome. That's crazy. And Sam Morgan. Yeah, and Sam Morgan, dude. All the everybody, all the PKs join the fight club, PK team, dude. That's awesome. Yeah, it's the best. I mean, I obviously we've sat here talking about camp for a half hour, so but I would just if you if you if you have a student, I would say send them. If you are a student, I would say go. If you don't have a student, I'd say pray for our our camp season coming up, and just that God would do uh incredible things because he has. And not even to do with camp, but if you ever have time to just kind of get away and strip back everything of like, you know, put your phone away, get out, get away. Or if you can ever, you know, sneak into one of our uh youth events and just watch them worship and do the things that they do, like it's like you're saying, it gets uh you can get emotional pretty fast watching it. Yeah, they uh they'll bless you. Like seeing them with their faith and like watching yeah, watching them worship is the craziest thing. Like because I remember being a teenager who was like I wasn't a bad kid, I don't think, but it wasn't like in tune with my faith the way I needed to be or should have been. And like I would have never like the way that they just kind of get out of here. Yeah, the way they go after worship or the way that they pray for one another, or like at retreat this past year, like everybody they came up and prayed for me, and it was like, what am I doing right now that I have these kids who want to pray for me? Like you know what I mean. That's yeah, it's the best. But camp is awesome. Again, I and then I hope you guys bought something at the Mother's Day Bake Sale selfishly because of that. But we do. We have people every year who come up to me and they want to sponsor a kid to go to camp because they don't. It's like that's not too late too if you're listening to the want to contribute. It's not I'm not trying to sit here and ask you for money, but if like if you're like, well, how can I get involved with this? Like, one, yes, absolutely pray. Like the it's in July. Last week of June is junior high camp, senior high camp is the first week or July 6th through the 10th. So put it on your calendar and pray. Like, pray for us as leaders, pray for our kids. Um pray that kids get to go. But if financially you and your spouse are just you, and you're like, oh, you know what, we can afford to give them I think it's four hundred and twenty-five dollars, which is expensive. But it's a full week of camp and meals and everything like that. If you're like, hey, you know what, I want to donate to that, or I can give fifty bucks to Pastor Devin to put in the bus fund. It's like, yeah, all that will help. Yeah, yeah. Every dollar kids to camp. Every dollar from the big sale, and then every dollar that people want to donate is gonna go 100% towards that. So to kind of alleviate that price. So that kids will have and literally that's the crazy part, is we don't have the resources to do it, nor do I want to do it. But you you could literally FaceTime pick a kid, right?

SPEAKER_06 38:27

You could literally FaceTime Vinny or Dom or Avi or Drew or Izzy or whoever you you could literally FaceTime anybody right now and be like, tell me your favorite camp moment, and like that.

SPEAKER_04 38:39

They would be able to remember. They're just be driving to Canada after camp. Yeah, Jade. Oh my gosh. Jada took a took a wrong turn and shared that story. Haven't we talked about that? Oh no, we haven't. We talked about how bad they are at geography, but we didn't even add that one in on our way back. That was you, right? Are you in the car? Me, Jake, did you get away from the car? You were in the car? Dude, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:00

No. So Jada's driving, dude. Was it like two hours? How on God's green earth do you go two hours in the wrong direction with the GPS? Blows my mind. Me and Jake fell asleep to a four-hour drive and woke up to a four-hour drive two hours later.

SPEAKER_00 39:15

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_06 39:16

Jada drove the wrong direction leaving camp. She got on the highway going north and almost ended up in Canada.

SPEAKER_05 39:22

Dude, that is crazy. That is little bunny. She's gonna be mad because I know she listens.

SPEAKER_04 39:28

Does she? I think so. She's never seen it. I know. I know she listens.

SPEAKER_05 39:32

She might think so. She either does or she doesn't. There's no one between there. There we go.

SPEAKER_04 39:37

It all circles. Hey, you know what? She does. Maybe she doesn't. Maybe she doesn't. And if she does, then she'll hear it. If she doesn't, then she won't hear it. 50-50.

SPEAKER_07 39:47

Somebody will tell her. It's 50-50.

SPEAKER_01 39:49

SPEAKER_04 40:11

SPEAKER_05 40:21

He's good at just yeah, just comments.

SPEAKER_04 40:23

There's something like he says it and he's like, boom. That's like when we went to visit my aunt in Florida. We we went to like Bass Pro Shops, and because they in Florida they have like huge gator tanks at those ones, and so we're like, oh, let's go look at the gators. And she was like, man, wouldn't want to be on one of those gators on the outside. Those things can run 80 miles an hour. And we were like, we were like, no, they can't.

SPEAKER_03 40:46

But she was just like, I don't know, maybe they can't. 80 miles an hour. Just so confident.

SPEAKER_05 40:53

I was like, are you kidding me? She's like, oh, those things can run eight.

SPEAKER_04 40:56

Also, just to clarify. If you're thinking of a cheetah, just to clarify, Devin and his older brother and their aunt went to look at the gators at Bass Pro. His five year old was not with him. No. I requested go see the gators with my auntie. Um, also shops. Why isn't it Bass Pro shops? Because there's more than one. Yeah, but you're going to Walmart's. You're not going to Walmarts. Yeah, exactly. She calls it Walmarts, if we're being honest. That's hilarious. It's like how everybody used to call it uh TJI Fridays and Ruby Tuesdays, but it's really Ruby Tuesday and TGI Friday. No, I think that one is. Because they're Fridays now. Yeah, but that's that's the game. It's Ruby Tuesday.

SPEAKER_01 41:38
