What happens when you put students in a kitchen, hand them cookie dough, and ask real questions about faith and life? Chaos. Laughter. And some surprisingly honest conversations.

In this holiday special of the Life YTH Podcast, we bake cookies together and talk about what students actually think about God, prayer, doubt, purpose, and following Jesus in real life.

Pull up a chair, grab a cookie, and let’s chat.

From story, to presence, to obedience. This is the way of Jesus.

If you’ve ever wondered, “How do I know what’s true?” or felt the weight of trying to build your identity on shifting emotions, this convo is gonna hit deep.

This week, Pastor Jeff breaks down the lies we’ve swallowed about truth, love, and conflict. We’re stepping into the Sermon on the Mount to expose the cultural scripts that sound empowering but actually fracture relationships and starve our souls.

Truth isn’t just an idea.
Truth is a Person.
And He’s inviting you into a life that actually holds when everything else shakes.

Tap in. This one matters.

From story to presence to obedience: this is the Life YTH PDX podcast.

What’s really driving your hustle?
This week at Life YTH, Pastor Jeff takes us straight into the tension we feel every day: the pressure to perform, achieve, and prove you’re enough. But Jesus has a completely different POV.

We break down the two lies that distort our ambition (the lie that all ambition is evil and the lie that ambition is everything) and discover the freedom of a Jesus-shaped hustle. A life where your identity fuels your motive, your motive directs your ambition, and your ambition builds God’s kingdom instead of your own.

If you’ve ever felt tired from trying to impress or scared that slowing down makes you worthless, this conversation is for you.

From story, to presence, to obedience. This is the way of Jesus.
