Episode 134: How’d I Miss That? Blue Church Vans, Bible Drills, and My High School Youth Minister - Dr. Rob Boyd
Friday, 6 February, 2026
In today's episode, I’m joined by Rob Boyd—my former youth minister and an actual blast from my past. We take a walk down memory lane filled with blue church vans, lock-ins, Bible drills, questionable music debates, and the kind of church memories that are funny now… and formative forever.Rob shares what it was like pastoring teenagers (including a very opinionated teenage me), why spiritual disciplines don’t have to be complicated (hello, seven minutes), and why faith is more about being than doing. We talk scripture memory, quiet time, raising kids, waiting on God when He feels silent, and how God uses even the awkward church years to shape who we become.It’s equal parts laughter, nostalgia, and encouragement—especially for parents, former church kids, and anyone who’s ever wondered if the small things really matter.And if you want the full stories behind today’s conversation, you can order How’d I Miss That? wherever you get your books.All things CynthiaSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/messmerized-funny-and-faith-based-encouragement-in-marriage/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
