Hosts Jordan Biere, Jason Kidd, and Annie Grandell reflect on the highlights, themes, and powerful insights shared across all episodes and guests. If you didn’t catch the full season, this is your shortcut to the biggest takeaways.Notable Quotes:“We can’t keep domesticating the power of the Holy Spirit.” -Jason Kidd (2:05) “We need to abandon the outcom...2025-07-1421 minThe Youth Ministry Mindset PodcastS2 E7: Stories from the Wild (with Hollie Danis and Rick Grinstead)Summary: In this episode, hosts Annie Grandell, Jason Kidd, and Jordan Biere sit down with two seasoned practitioners—Hollie Danis of STA Catholic Youth Ministry in St. Michael and Albertville, MN and Rick Grinstead from the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Knoxville, TN—to share some powerful, raw, and often hilarious “stories from the wild” of Confirmation ministry.These aren’t theories. These are real-life moments from youth ministers on the front lines. Join these two seasoned youth ministry veterans as they share Spirit-filled stories from their own Confirmation ministries. This episode is...2025-07-1459 minThe Youth Ministry Mindset PodcastS2 E6: Cool Guys Don’t Look at Explosions (with Dayrín Perez)Summary: In this episode, hosts Jordan Biere, Annie Grandell, and Jason Kidd welcome Dayrín Perez from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to talk about what it really looks like to blow up the old models of Confirmation ministry—and walk away with confidence and clarity.With authenticity and a little humor (yes, the title is a Lonely Island reference), Dayrín shares what’s happening at the diocesan level in L.A., where leaders are giving parishes the freedom—and responsibility—to reimagine confirmation as a place of transformation rather than obligation. The result? A culture...2025-07-1445 minThe Youth Ministry Mindset PodcastS2 E5: A Pastor’s Perspective (with Fr. Peter Wojcik)Summary:In this episode, hosts Jason Kidd, Annie Grandell, and Jordan Biere are joined by Fr. Peter Wojcik of St. Clement Parish in Chicago to explore a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of Confirmation: the role of the pastor. Fr. Peter brings clarity, encouragement, and challenge as he offers a pastor’s perspective on how clergy and lay ministers can work together, not in silos, but in mission.References & Resources:Catechism of the Catholic Church 1311Pope Francis, Evengelii Gaudium, Paragraph 31-33Pope Francis, Christus Vivit, Paragraph 244-247...2025-07-1436 minThe Youth Ministry Mindset PodcastS2 E4: Why Sponsors Matter (with Christopher Wesley)Summary: In this episode, hosts Jordan Biere, Jason Kidd, and Annie Grandell welcome Christopher Wesley, founder of Marathon Youth Ministry and author of Rebuilding Confirmation, for a compelling conversation on the often-overlooked role of sponsors in the Confirmation process.Instead of viewing sponsors as a checkbox or afterthought, Christopher challenges us to think of them as mentors in discipleship—people who can walk alongside teens in a meaningful way. The episode invites ministry leaders to reconsider traditional practices and reimagine how to form sponsors and integrate them intentionally into the journey of Confirmation.2025-06-3052 minThe Youth Ministry Mindset PodcastS2 E3: Content (Still) Is Not King (with Edmund Mitchell)Summary: In this episode, Jason Kidd, Annie Grandell, and Jordan Biere revisit and build upon one of the core ideas from Season 1: Content isn’t king, this time with special guest Edmund Mitchell. While solid teaching is crucial, it’s not the silver bullet for effective Confirmation preparation.This time, we explore what this principle looks like specifically in the Confirmation space. Throwing more curriculum at Confirmation won’t fix it. Relationships and context matter more than content alone when it comes to transforming young hearts.Notable Quotes:“Content...2025-06-3054 minThe Youth Ministry Mindset PodcastS2 E2: What Confirmation Is…and Isn’t (with Fr. Chad VanHoose)Summary: In this theologically rich episode, hosts Jordan Biere, Jason Kidd, and Annie Grandell are joined by NET Ministries Chaplain Fr. Chad VanHoose to lay a strong foundation for understanding the sacrament of Confirmation—and, equally important, clarifying what it isn’t.Too often, Confirmation is surrounded by confusion and cultural baggage, described as a “sacrament in search of a theology.” But in truth, there is a deep and compelling theology behind it—one that has the power to transform hearts and communities.Notable Quotes:“A sacrament is the touch of...2025-06-3046 minThe Youth Ministry Mindset PodcastS2 E1: Welcome to Season 2Summary: Youth Ministry Mindset is back!

RedpointJordan BiereJordan is the National Director for Youth Alpha. Youth Alpha has been completely redone with youth, by youth, and for youth. It has a heavy emphasis on taking into consideration what teens are actually interested in, and it is done in the voices of their peers. It is a truly global team this time and has been shortened to better meet the demands of youth ministry. It also has been created specifically to be easily led by teens in their youth groups and even their high schools. 2024-10-2549 min
