Thanks for stopping in! We've got a couple t-shirt ideas we think you'll love, but even better than that... Fresh off our statewide winter retreat experience, two of our students dissect and discuss what they heard and are taking away from it. Powerful, insightful, encouraging stuff! Thanks for listening, and if you have a topic you'd like us to discuss or a question we can answer, please share it with us in the comments, DM us on Instagram (@southsiders), or text it to (804) 464-7077. Thanks!...

*No Spoilers, but at one point in this episode, I literally say that I wish I could make it mandatory for all students everywhere to listen to this. Buckle up, buttercup! We've got an amazing surprise guest with us on today's episode! A former graduate, now headed toward wrapping up her college career, she shares some fun tidbits about her hot chocolate habits, how she feels about raisins, and what God has been doing in her life since she graduated as a Southside Student! This one went longer th...

Do you get freaked out by ASMR? Don't worry we don't really get into that. In this episode, we talk about the lack of "Christmas spirit" some are experiencing this year, why that is, and how we can handle it. We zero in on Christmas myths and talk about how we can make the most of this holiday in this VERY weird (and in some ways wonderful) year. Join us for a 23 minute diversion from whatever you were doing, or just keep doing it while you listen. Got a topic or question you want us to kick aro...

Welcome to the 2x4 Student Podcast. In this episode, we talk about the thing that seems to always be looming among humans and perhaps especially teenagers: cliques. Are they good, are they bad? Do they serve any positive purpose? We also chat about other stuff, and welcome a newcomer to the table; someone you might have never expected! If you've got a topic, question, or comment, you can definitely post it here OR text us at (804) 464-7077 or DM us on Instagram @southsiders! Thanks so much for l...

Sit down (or lay down, or sprint, or headstand, or whatever) for a few minutes with 3 American teenagers as they talk about Thanksgiving (including a brief lesson on its origins), the benefits of gratitude, the "downside" of large families, Covid shirt ideas, and why we often take for granted the people closest to us. Oh, and "Lego pie." We packed a ton in to 15 minutes! If you have a topic, question, or discussion you want to share or suggest, text (804) 464-7077 or DM us on Instagram (@southsi...

Sit down a few minutes with a few American teenagers as they talk about the unique stresses that we face and how to deal with them in this super weird season of history we're all in. You're gonna get some laughs, some insights on dealing with stress, hear the words "peak of genetics" and maybe even some fishing tips. Maybe not. Probably not the fishing tips part. Thanks for listening! If you have a question or topic you'd love to hear students discuss on a future episode, just text it to (804) 4...

This week, we welcome 2 amazing young ladies who drop some laughs, wisdom, and heart on us as we talk about "expectations". What we feel others expect of us, what we expect of ourselves, and what God says about us. Powerful stuff, and oh so good! Jump in! Got a question, topic, or discussion you'd like to hear on a future podcast episode? Leave us a comment or DM our Instragram @southsiders. Thanks for listening!

Stop in and let's talk breakfast, what God has shown us through the Covid-19 pandemic, and if "fake friends" are actually a thing. Got a question/topic you want to hear on an upcoming episode? DM us on Instagram. We're @southsiders.

Hang on, now. Just an ever-loving second. How could anyone think their faith story is boring? Its miraculous at its very core! But still, we hear so many young people share about how they wish their story had more "umph", more spice, more drama. Like being a rehabbed meth addict and ex-con is the desirable road? We don't know about all that, but we jumped into a nice chat about testimonies/faith stories. Hope you enjoy! If you'd like to suggest a topic or ask a question, just leave a comment! Be...

After a wee bit of a necessary hiatus, we're back in the podosphere! This time we're talking about the future, about God's will, about "soulmates" and how to live with a right perspective on it all.

We're back for another episode after a week off (thanks a lot, exams!) and we're diving into the topic of relationships. What they are, how to make them work, and other helpful nuggets.

This week we're talking SATs, Cheesecake, and Conflict Resolution. We don't all take the SATs, we don't all eat cheesecake (apparently), but we all get into conflict. So what are some good, healthy steps to resolve it when it happens? Send questions, comments, and topic suggestions via the comment section or texting (804) 464-7077. Thanks for listening!

"You gotta start somewhere!" as the old saying goes. Welcome to the 2x4 Student Podcast. This podcast is TO students, BY students, and FOR students. There's a guy named Jerry who's old(er) and keeps stuff moving but this podcast is all about what it means to be a young person; what's important, annoying, confusing, triumphant, difficult, or unique. Meet and crew and settle in for our first (and maybe shortest) episode!
