Following Jesus In Middle School

We broke the Podcast Guest record and I sat down with 8 middle school students while I was at Hidden Haven Christian Camp to ask them some simple questions about what it is like to follow Jesus as a Middle Schooler today! Hear from Gabriel, Acelyn, Jaggar, Thomas, Kennedy, Emery, Kennedy (a different one), and Ralee, and hopefully gain some encouragement and/or perspective about how we can support the students in our circles of influence in their walk with Jesus!

Fruit To Root

Travis and I sit down to discuss the concept of Fruit To Root, pioneered by Jeff Vanderstelt in his book Saturate!
