Youth Groups - Then vs. Now

Комедия

Either way, we're all listening to the Newsboys!
As two guys who both grew up loving our youth group (and eventually both worked in youth ministry for a season!), this video was all-too-easy to write. Hope you all enjoy!

    I flipped through it after I had been married to see what it was about. 🤷🏼‍♀️ A valuable life lesson I was taught was to not take one resource and make it the center of my universe. It’s sad to me that many people have such negative reviews, but I truly do see the value in not dating around. I was taught about courtship since I was little and I’ve watched many people go through it successfully. 🤷🏼‍♀️
