In this episode of The Ville, we start with a taco and end up somewhere way bigger: who’s actually responsible for discipling youth? Spoiler: it’s not just pastors and Sunday School teachers. With humor and honesty, we unpack how discipleship happens in the everyday: Why influence can be good or bad How faith is both caught and taught and how the Village shapes what young people pick up Why the question isn’t “if you’re influencing young people” but “how you’re influencing them”

Theology lives in lyrics, lived experience, and late-night convos. In this pilot episode of The Ville, the group chat goes LIVE. We're unpacking questions like: What R&B song taught you more theology than a sermon ever did? Do you really spoil the child if you spare the rod? Is 18 actually grown? But it’s deeper than hot takes: meet your cohosts, not through resumes, but through real stories. You'll hear how BOON was born, why we stopped saying certain things in ministry, and what it really means to invest in those discipling Black youth. Because The Ville is for the village, and the village is what makes the faith stick. Welcome to the Ville!

This first season pushes back on the idea that youth discipleship is solely the responsibility of the church.

Together, we’ll learn to recognize our influence, examine the beliefs we’re passing down, and embrace our collective role in helping Black youth experience an abundant life, the kind Jesus meant in John 10:10.
