  Pastor Robert Young: Now here's a trick question for you Do you believe that the Bible is the only true word from God?
• 4:14
  Jondelle: Yes.
• 4:15
  Pastor Robert Young: Yes, okay.
• 4:16
  Jordan: Actually no, because there's another word from God which is called praying.

  Pastor Robert Young: Spell it.
• 4:25
  Pastor Robert Young: P-R-A-Yy, oh praying yes, of course, of course.
• 4:28
  Pastor Robert Young: But how are you going to know about praying if you don't read the bible?
• 4:32
  Jordan: basically he's right he's right.
• 4:35
  Pastor Robert Young: He's right.
• 4:35
  Pastor Robert Young: Do you guys have any suggestions to other pastors?
• 4:40
  Pastor Robert Young: I'm a pastor and at the end of this summer I'm going to be talking to lots of pastors about how they can improve the church experience for young people.
• 4:50
  Pastor Robert Young: What can you suggest that I tell them?
• 4:55
  Jordan: Why don't you tell them?
• 4:56
  Jordan: Well, when you see a young person, try to motivate them.
• 4:59
  Jordan: You know.
• 5:02
  Jondelle: Let them volunteer, like let them volunteer in a church so they can actually get the surroundings, because some kids want to be pastors, some kids want to spread the word of God.
• 5:15
  Pastor Robert Young: What's your mom's name?
• 5:16
  Jondelle: That's not my mom, that's my auntie.
• 5:17
  Jondelle: Yeah, that's my auntie too.
• 5:18
  Jondelle: What's your auntie's name?
• 5:18
  Jondelle: Natalie?
• 5:19
  Pastor Robert Young: Natalie, I'm going to adopt these two.
• 5:22
  Pastor Robert Young: Are you kidding me?
• 5:25
  Pastor Robert Young: Oh my goodness.
• 5:26
  Pastor Robert Young: Yes, yes, I can tell.
• 5:28
  Pastor Robert Young: So what else would you suggest that I say to these pastors?
• 5:32
  Pastor Robert Young: I think you should.
• 5:34
  Pastor Robert Young: So we got.
• 5:37
  Pastor Robert Young: Let me summarize Give the young people something more to do, because some young people want to spread the word of God.
• 5:44
  Pastor Robert Young: Anything else?
• 5:45
  Pastor Robert Young: Motivate young people, motiv the word of God.
• 5:47
  Pastor Robert Young: Anything else Motivate young people, motivate them.
• 5:48
  Pastor Robert Young: How do we motivate them?
• 5:50
  Jordan: Like if one's playing basketball.
• 5:53
  Jordan: It could be like let's go or teach them how to play.
• 5:56
  Jordan: Teach them how to do.
• 5:58
  Jondelle: And you can have like things for like young, the youth.
• 6:01
  Jondelle: Like you can like only have a thing for a youth, like you'd be like pastoring and show them how, how it works, and stuff, and you can like yeah, yeah, train them I got a good one okay, what is it?
• 6:14
  Jordan: um, why don't you like tell the pastors to start a kids club so like every friday, sunday, every Friday Sunday, every church day, at night at midnight before church starts.
• 6:27
  Pastor Robert Young: Okay.
• 6:27
  Jordan: They get to read the Bible and do activities you should do Bible studies with the kids too.
• 6:34
  Pastor Robert Young: Now you know, some churches do have that a specific Bible study.
• 6:37
  Jordan: That's exactly why I said it.
• 6:39
  Pastor Robert Young: Yes, okay, anything else?
• 6:41
  Pastor Robert Young: No, that's all.
• 6:43
  Pastor Robert Young: What would you say about the sermon itself, that the pastor or elder or whoever preaches.
• 6:49
  Pastor Robert Young: Anything that we could do with that from that end?
• 6:53
  Jordan: What is a sermon?
• 6:54
  Pastor Robert Young: when they preach.
• 6:55
  Pastor Robert Young: oh, is it too long, is it too short?
• 6:57
  Pastor Robert Young: Do you understand what's being said?
• 6:59
  Jondelle: Yeah, the understanding part, because they use a little bit too much of the big words.
• 7:02
  Jondelle: So I think they should summarize in better words, because some kids can't really understand it if you're speaking in high manner, high vocabulary, so I think you should explain it more better.
• 7:16
  Jondelle: Explain it like the way that kids can learn it, to make it more fun.
• 7:21
  Pastor Robert Young: Okay, okay.
• 7:21
  Pastor Robert Young: What would you say to young people that might hear this podcast?
• 7:25
  Jondelle: God is life, God is glory, God is everything, amen.
