What happens when a mission trip to Cambodia turns into a race against anaphylactic shock — with a wheelchair heist, rats on the ER floor, and a $400 bill to save a student’s life? Or when a friendly game of broom ball ends with a youth leader’s fingernail on the ice and a 2an ER visit fueled by Greek flashcards?
In this episode, Nick and Mikiala sit down with youth pastor Dawson Campbell (Diamond Bar, CA) for two of the wildest, most chaotic, and somehow deeply encouraging stories from the front lines of student ministry. From mudfish dinners in Southeast Asia to bloody ice rinks in the South, Dawson proves one thing: youth ministry will absolutely test you — and God will absolutely show up.
Whether you’re a seasoned youth worker or just someone who loves a great survival story, this one’s for you. Buckle up.
