Parks and Reformation: Recent Episodes
Mykendra
Hey everyone! And welcome to the podcast that is made for you, the youth people! Our goal with these podcasts is to create a space where we can have discussions and work through life together. We hope that we can challenge you to think about how you act as Christians in this crazy world that we live in. We also hope to entertain you a bit because life is not meant to be serious all the time. Basically we want to connect with you about all topics! Be sure to chat with us on Instagram (@maranathayouthpodcast). -Kendra & Mykalah
Sometimes we go through crumby situations, and a lot of the time it is easier for us to sit and pout about it. In this episode we touch on how when Paul and Silas find themselves in a bad situation, their response is praise! We talk about how Paul sets a good example for us in terms of making the best of a situation and how God used Paul and Silas in another person's life! We also talk about how mercy-full God is, not only for the people in the Bible but for us, today! Tune in and join the conversation on Instagram @parksandrefomation.
This week at youth we talked about Spiritual Gifts. Spiritual gifts are our talents! And we use our talents to glorify God. In this episode you will hear a recap of the youth lesson, along with our thoughts on spiritual gifts and talents. Before that you will hear a cool story about military dogs!

This past week at youth we talked about working with a purpose. And who else but Noah to demonstrate working with a purpose! We learned that Noah worked hard to build the ark and that God was faithful to him. This week on the podcast, listen as we discuss what working with a purpose in our everyday lives is like. But before we get to that listen to the crazy current that we have for you this week, it is pretty wacky! Follow us on Instagram @parksandreformation
This week we decided to look more into the topic we spoke about at youth: work. More specifically, why work? But before we got into the main topic we added some fun things that you will have to tune in and find out about! Be sure to let us know your thoughts on this podcast on our Instagram page @parksandreformation.
For the past few weeks we have been talking about mental health and self care. This week we decided to tackle a subject that is pretty much in the forefront of everyone's mind... Stress. Stressful situations pop up all the time, whether that be at school, home or anywhere else, stress follows us around. We talked a bit about how you can deal with stress and how God can help you deal with stress. Tune in and find out all we have to say on this topic.

Last week we talk about mental health and how there is a bit of a stigma around it. This week, we decided to discuss how to combat bad mental health days with a little bit of self care. We talked about what self-care is and how it can be beneficial to bring down your stress levels. Self-care is very important although sometimes can seem selfish or not even necessary, but in reality it is a good way to wind down from the stresses of the week. In this episode we also talked about spiritual self-care and what that could look like. Just like everyone's self-care routine may be a different so is their faith journey and spiritual self-care. Tune in to find out everything we talked about.

This week we talk all about how mental health is affected by social media, both positively and negatively. We talk about the signs of having a good relationship with social media, as well as what a harmful relationship might look like. We also share some tips and ideas for keeping your mental health in check and how we can live lives of positivity and fruitfulness!
For the past couple of weeks we have been talking about social media; the good and the bad. This week we decided to take another look at social media, but this time in terms of our identity. We looked at how social media could shape our identity and what role knowing that we are made in God's image played on our social media. In this day and age it is easy to get caught up in putting out the "perfect life" on social media but sometimes that does more harm then good. It is important to remember that you are made in God's image and social media does not define you.
Last week we talked about how social media can be quite a dark and dreary place. There is lots of negativity that can be spread like wild fire across social media. However, social media can also be a good thing too. This week we decided to talk to someone who has been using social media to stay connected with his family even before quarantine began. We talk how even through this time of quarantine we can use social media to stay connected with our family and friends and not only that but we talk about how social media can be used to connect with our church family and worship God. Tune in to find out who we talked to and our thoughts on these subjects.
Hey everyone! Welcome back to this week's podcast! Last week talked a bit about who we are and a bit about social media. In this week's podcast we decided to take a look at a bit of the darker side to social media. We talk about how we as Christians can view people who were involved in controversies and how our faith can guide us in choosing what we consume when it comes to social media. We also tackled another topic which was cancel culture. We take a look at how we as Christians interpret cancel culture and we also discuss if cancel culture is as new as we think it is. Tune in this week to find out our thoughts on all these subjects and then join in on the conversation on our Instagram page (@maranathayouthpodcast).
