Summary

Sam is joined by Ross Johnston and Cole Clark for an episode packed with youth-group chaos, questionable leadership decisions, and one high-speed love story that absolutely steals the show. From a late-night ride in Costa Rica that turns out to be much sketchier than anyone realized, to a campfire stunt that sends a show-off straight to the ER, to a leader who may or may not have facilitated some highway flirting, the disasters only escalate. Sam relives becoming that intern who roasted the wrong students, a nursing-home visit that turned into a full-blown sprint-for-your-life moment, and a camp prize that pushed one teenager’s heart rate into uncharted territory. Toss in Ross’s satanist saga and a missing kid secretly living at church, and this episode proves—yet again—that youth ministry might be the most unpredictable job on earth.
