Welcome to SMM Youth Ministry's newest project! On this podcast, you’ll have the opportunity to encounter the heart of young people in our community through authentic, personal stories. As you listen, consider your own experiences and how God wants to encounter your heart in the midst of them.

On this episode, Ashley shares how her faith was ignited at a Steubenville Conference and how she’s kept the flame alive.

Reflection Questions:

* How do you see yourself, and what shapes your identity?

* Is your foundation rooted in the Lord or in other people’s opinions of you?

* What are the ways that you’ve encountered the Lord, and how do you keep that fire burning for your own faith life?

* Ashley mentioned doing an examination of conscience- do you ever take time at the end of your day to reflect on how the Lord has worked in your life?
