The staff discuss social media and how it has shaped our relationships and how we communicate. They answer questions as each other, and then get quizzed on how many words they know.

The staff take their time discussing the topic for this week: disagreeing. We learn what books they haven’t finished reading, and in our “Oldies vs Youngies” segment Adam and Lee get called old. It’s gonna be/was epic.

We learn more about the staff through more of Adam’s strange “Desert Island” questions, dive into the famous “love” chapter of Corinthians, and don’t have a dessert segment because Mason hit wrong buttons and it disappeared. Two-thirds of a podcast, but ALL THE THIRDS fun.

In this Valentine’s day (a few days late) edition of To the Table, Mason gets the short end of the stick in a trivia point system (that he came up with), the staff discuss judging in their award-winning main course, and then bookend the episode like a bunch of pros and talk about best and worst Valentine’s Day things. Nailed it.

Weeeeeeeee’rrrrrreeeee back! The staff sit down and reminisce on all the good times and good memories 2020 brought (at one point Hoops yells “WHAT IS GOING ON” and that pretty much sums it up). We then look ahead to 2021 and discuss our Words of the Year, our Resolutions, our goals, anything and everything.
Also, this is unfortunately Derek’s last episode. Listen on to hear his story about where he’s going and what he’ll be doing! While we are all sad he’s leaving, we are beyond thankful for the friendship and mentorship he’s shown our staff and students over the last 5 years. Derek, we are so excited to see where your talents continue to take you!

Make yourself a warm beverage, cozy up beside a nice fire, wrap yourself in the most snug and comfy blanket you can find, and join the staff as they celebrate Christmas together. Good tidings and cheer abound. Also spoilers on the true (or false?) identity of Santa Claus

Celebrate good times, come on. On the LAST EPISODE OF THE FIRST SEASON (tear) the staff talk about the last spiritual discipline: celebration. We learn what desert island items people would bring (let’s just say some wouldn’t survive), and Adam doesn’t know where Jesus was born.

Join the staff as they each share their favorite memories and traditions from the Thanksgiving holiday, as well as hear from a few surprise guests.
Be sure to eat waaaaay too much today.
The staff goes deep and gets vulnerable about this week’s discipline: service. Kate knows everything, Adam hates blimps, and Derek eats a pickle.

Simplicity seems like a simple (see what I did there?) discipline to understand, but it goes far beyond just being about minimalism. The staff explore all aspects of simplicity, answer some really strange “Would You Rather” questions, and hear some “Florida Man” headlines that are stranger than you might think.

The staff dives deep into the discipline of solitude and why being silent and still can be so scary at times. We hear Lee’s great Irish accent, Mason drools everywhere, and the dessert segment gets LOUD.

Fasting: what is it? How do you do it? Is it only about not eating? This week the staff explore the discipline of fasting and the various ways you can participate in it. The staff answer some personal questions off the Proust Questionnaire, and try their hand at “kid” trivia. It doesn’t go that well.

This week, the staff discusses the discipline “study,” what it means to study as a Christian, and how that term has changed for them as they’ve grown spiritually. We learn that some of the staff are experts in other things besides youth ministry and that LITERALLY EVERYONE is good at tongue twisters.
Mentioned in this episode: Richard Foster's “Celebration of Discipline”
In their inaugural episode, the BUMC Student Ministry staff discuss how the pandemic has been affecting their current habits and schedules and learn what unpopular opinions each of them hold. Hannah shows her prowess at European sports trivia, and Adam DOES NOT like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
