Rachel, Lucy and Martin are joined by a very special guest for the podcast's 50th episode. Dame Rachel de Souza is the Children's Commissioner for England, making her the most senior advocate for children and young people in the nation. She shares some sobering reflections from recent research into young people's experience of poverty, and encourages the Christian youth work community on their vital role in community transformation. Plus we have all the usual feedback, mayhem and (dis)organised fun. We really hope you enjoy listening to this one as much as we loved making it!

Today the team are talking about the hidden extras in youth work roles that no-one mentioned in the interview. There's discussion around when a new Christian is ready for baptism, how we can help young men to encourage each other, and how you cope with the unforeseen challenges of a rapidly-growing youth ministry. Plus there are some surprise revelations in the organised fun segment, when Rachel asks: when did you first learn to ride a bike...?

This week we're discussing good news stories involving young people, including the hit new TV series Worlds Apart, which pairs old and young in a travelling adventure. We ask: what kind of role might elderly people play in your youth ministry, and why might they be reluctant to get involved? Plus - since it's spooky season, the team are pondering how we respond when young people want to talk about darker spiritual ideas, and then don some Hagbane's Doom themed Halloween costumes for some very lightly-themed organised fun.

With Martin away, Lucy and Rachel dive into a topic that’s equal parts tough and essential; how do we have honest conversation with teen girls about clothing without slipping into patriarchy dressed up in Bible verses! then they chat about how youth leaders can give Christian parents and carers a time but gentle nudge with it comes to discipline their teens. All topped off with obligatory fun, because what’s youth work without surreal fashion choices?
