Ever wonder what goes through the mind of a student who is about to become a College Freshman? No need to wonder! In this week's Podcast, Lee & Ric interview 3 recently graduated students who are preparing for college. In this very personal interview they talk about their mindset going through the life of a church while struggling to own their own faith. Ethan, Tenison, and Matt talk about their struggle and crisis of belief and what took place for them to make their faith, their "own." Student ministers can listen to these guys and gain insight into the mind of three guys who grew up in church and didn't just accept what they were told...they had to find it out for themselves. They will learn about what worked for them and what didn't...not to mention a cautionary warning to adults and the power of their influence. This one was brutally honest. So, as usual...pour yourself a cup of coffee and hang out with us and these three guys as we talk about construction of a faith they own! Feel free to tell us about you or your students journey of faith as well in the info below!
