146 No Pranks, Just Stories: When Ministry Almost Goes Very Wrong ft. Eric Duffy

from The Storydram · host Chris Kostelc and Kory LaCroix

What do facial hair trends, poisonous frogs in Mexico, clogged toilets full of goldfish, and an unexpected indoor fireball have in common? Apparently… youth ministry.In this episode of Storydram, Chris and Kory sit down with Eric Duffy to swap unforgettable (and occasionally alarming) stories from years of ministry—stories that felt like failures in the moment but became moments of grace, growth, and lasting impact.From mission trips gone sideways to retreats that nearly ended in disaster, this conversation explores what it really means to take risks for the Gospel, why God can work through our worst ideas (and our best intentions), and how the only real failure is refusing to show up at all.It’s hilarious, honest, and deeply encouraging—especially for anyone who’s ever been afraid to try, afraid to fail, or afraid to say yes.
