Tuesday Sep 03, 2024
Tuesday Sep 03, 2024
How can we go beyond just teaching about singleness, dating, friendships, and romance at youth group? What if there was a resource that walked students through all of those topics in just 4 weeks, addressing many of the answers they already have, and offering solid interactive questions that were rooted in Scripture? Thankfully, our guests just wrote a student devotional that I think you’re going to love. On this episode of Student Ministry Connection, Steve talks with Heather Flies and Tony Myles about their stories, ministries, their latest book, and how it can enhance your ministry.
