    Ep. 39 - Young People's Interactions

    Tune in this week to hear Sam and I discuss young people's interactions. We think that fellowship is being broken, (as is typical with sinners:) but is not being restored among our young people, (which should not be common among our youth). Christian youth, need to be watched more closely and taught to get into fellowship as quickly as possible, when fellowship is broken. This is for the betterment of our youth's souls and our communities. Email Us: [email protected] For Listening!
