Episode 01: The Launch November 25, 2016Here it is folks (yes, Jaquelle, I said “folks”), the long anticipated first episode (after all, what is an episode 0 anyway) of the Age of Minority podcast. In this episode you will get to know the hosts of the podcast and you will hear a little about why we started this podcast and how it all came to be. Sidenote: You will also hear a teensy-weensy bit of static, but it only shows up every five minutes or so and only lasts for a second or two. Travis says it was him eating Rice Krispies in the kitchen while we were recording, but we are pretty sure it wasn’t 🙂 We are also pretty sure we have fixed the problem for when we record episode 02 and beyond. So enjoy the episode and let us know what you think in the comment section, or on Facebook or Twitter.

Episode 02: Truth for Youth December 2, 2016In episode 02 Jaquelle & Sean get into the first half of their tagline – A Podcast For Youth About the Gospel. Topics covered range from serious stuff (the low expectations that are sadly cast upon teens and the need for youth to live for the glory of God) to silly stuff (the Food Network and bad podcast/youth-group names).

Episode 03: The Most Important Episode December 9, 2016In this episode 3, Jaquelle and Sean tackle the second half of the show’s tagline – A Podcast For Youth About the Gospel. If the premise of the Age of Minority podcast is that the gospel transforms the teen years (along with all of a Christian’s years), then it is a good idea to begin by talking about what the gospel is. Hope you enjoy the show.

Episode 04: The Social Media Episode December 16, 2016In this episode, Jaquelle & Sean tackle an issue near and dear to the hearts of most teens. Whether it is the Facebook, the Twitter, the Instagram or the (insert whatever other social media platform is cool at the time here), all teens are influenced or impacted by social media in some way. That being the case, Jaquelle & Sean answer two important questions about social media: (1) Can teens use social media; & (2) Should teens use social media, and if so, how can they use it for the glory of God?
