On Mission Insights Podcast

In this episode, we're joined by Kyle Hoffsmith—youth pastor at Old North Church and host of The Word in Youth Ministry podcast—for a powerful conversation about rethinking the typical youth group model. Instead of relying on games, pizza, and surface-level engagement, Kyle has built a student ministry rooted in God’s Word and rich theology—even for middle and high schoolers. He shares practical strategies, honest stories of student transformation, and how a foundation of biblical truth is leading to lasting faith in the next generation. Whether you're a youth pastor, church leader, or parent, this episode offers encouragement and actionable insight for discipling students toward long-term spiritual maturity.
