Join Gabriel, Faith, Sara, Lexi, and Josh, as they talk about what it's like to live in a petting zoo... oh, and what it's like to live out your faith as a family.

Let's talk about Bible study. We are called to know God's Word, not let it out of our sight, and keep it in our hearts (Proverbs 4:21). We are told to meet together and encourage one another using the Word (Hebrews 10:24-25). What does this mean for a bunch of middle schoolers? How are these students holding each other accountable for knowing and spending time in scripture? Join Josh and Ben as they talk to Eric and Parker about running, attention spans, and what it's like to lead a Bible study in a public middle school.
