What is this?
Join us every Friday at 2:00 PM Eastern Time for a LIVE conversation between me and many other youth workers from around the country. Together we talk about anything and everything pertaining to “life in student ministry” and you’re invited to join the conversation! Although we occasionally set the topics beforehand, often we leave it up to you to chime in, ask for input on an issue, share your advice with others, or just tell us about something exciting in your ministry, all LIVE!
What’s it like?
