Gospel-Centered Everything…Even Topical Discussions
I’ve had some great discussions over the past year or so about making Jesus central to every Young Life talk we do. That’s easy most of the time, but challenging when it comes to particularly the Sin talk – telling kids about our separation from God due to our sinfulness. But still, Jesus is & [...]
