It is amazing what one can learn about themselves and others when they take the time during their 'single season' to do exactly this.

Too many negative images and communication or non- communication of 'RULES' 'RULES' and more 'RULES' has made people uninterested in finding out more. But is this really what Christianity is about? Is there more? And most specifically, is it for today's youth and how does one do it?
In this episode we talk about why the walk with God is perceived to be difficult, and why we choose to do it anyway.
In this episode we discuss why we decided to follow Jesus, Him and not anyone else.
