Where they're,

like, it's eerie because it's, like, okay, my body normally is, like, people are supposed to be, this is supposed to be filled by people, and it's not.

It's like being at the church at night, right? Like when you're at the church during the day, it's like there's nothing scary about it.

But it's like at night, all the lights can be on, but it's like an eerie feeling because it's like, I feel like people should be here and no one's here and all.

It's like quiet.

And then when they use, like, the back rooms, it's, like, they'll have, like, the fluorescent lights and, you know, like, the humming from, like, the fluorescent lights.

Yes.

Well,

They

don't got a...

That's the thing.

But that's the thing with these stories.

They don't have a plan.

They don't have a process.

Stop the games.

I did not mention the time.

Beep.

Hey, ma'am, uh, I'm just here to leave a voicemail to kinda get a hold of you.

Uh, we're just going around calling all the parents right now.

We had a incident at youth group this past Thursday.

Um, we had a little event going on where we had some balloons.

Uh, my wife is over a lot of the decoration-

My gosh.

Um, and we've, you know, we have a tight budget, and we just found some balloons, a, a good amount of balloons on a discounted price.

You have to leave a voicemail on the parent's phone talking your way out of the situation.

Three, two, one.

Hey, Ms. Johnson.

I say I can't reach you, so I'm just going to leave you a voicemail.

As you probably already know, Jamie had a little accident at youth group.

We were playing the game.

I thought I clarified the rules pretty clearly.

Did you really?

Tim, can you tell the people about Finish the Chronicle?

Finish the Chronicle.

Any writers out there? Any writers out there? Y'all

He's

allowed to come back to Unit 3 next week.

The student that wrapped the other student, are we kicking him out or keeping him? Yeah, kick him out or keep him.

If you say keep him, make some noise.

Y'all are nice to the kids than the youth pastors.

Mm-hmm.

And so we would all understand is that, you know, we can't have a relationship with God any way we see fit, right? It would be, it would be like if you're married, right, you...

There are, there are ways that you participate in your marriage, right? Like, I mean, we're all married in here.

[laughs]

And by the time I got to the, towards the middle, everyone started coming.

So I get to the middle, uh, Lily runs into me, bounces off me, and smacks right into Mindy.

Mm-hmm.

I think this is a great story to show you that even though sometimes he might be a little bit over the top, and even though sometimes you might feel like he's being a little bit extra, but this is why they're in place, so you don't get a call one day saying, "Hey, you kidnapped my child."

There was no expectation

...

there was, yeah, there was no expectation to follow.

But if there was something in place, say, "Hey, we do this to make sure this does not happen," and that person decided anyways to not do that, then I...

That is, is to some degree worth firing.

I'm doing good.

Uh, so unfortunately we have, uh, two students here.

Um, one of them is your student.

Um, unfortunately we had a, a situation happen, um, with one of the students.

He had snuck a Airsoft gun to camp.

Um, we do bag checks and things like that, um, but unfortunately he had snuck a, a Airsoft gun, um, and brought it with us.

Um, so we will be sending him home.

They move.

[laughs]

We laid down the ground rules on what was to take place while being in the cabins.

Um, unfortunately, it was in the middle of the night.

I wasn't there.

Um, but the, the staffers, they had, uh, you know, college students that are there, and unfortunately they came in, and they're supposed to be helping-

... to be by that train.

I, when, when it comes to, when it comes to things that just, like, one, you know you shouldn't be doing, but two, are heavily involved with not only putting...

Like, Pastor Cody, this was even before we were youth pastors.
