What if youth group games are actually bad? Esau thinks he has a better alternative to the classic youth group games many of us grew up with.

There are so many ways to bring levity and fun into youth group settings that do not include eating mashed banana from panty hose, drinking a concoction from a blender, or sticking your hand into a bucket of live crickets. I remember youth group feeling more like an episode of Fear Factor than a church event. I walked into the room full of flashing lights, balls whizzing past my head, and Switchfoot/Flyleaf/Skillet blaring and hoped that there wouldn't be trash cans lining the stage because that meant we'd be playing a really nasty game. Dodgeball, pictionary, and charades are great games for laughter and ice-breaking that don't leave people potentially injured or humiliated. The worst part to me was that there was lots of talk about "getting out of your comfort zone for Jesus." It was implied that playing the silly games was a way to live out your faith or something. So even though no one told me I had to play the games, I did feel pressured to participate.

Why are some of the Hill to Die on episodes not showing up in the HtDo Collection?
