In this episode, we talk with Caroline Turner and Tad Moore (Student Ministry staff at Fellowship Fayetteville) about talking with your 9th-12th graders about sexuality.  They interact with students and leaders on a regular basis, and they share with us their observations about the struggles our students are facing.  As they share their experiences, they encourage us to dive into these conversations even though it may feel awkward.  Your students want to hear from you above anyone else, even if they say otherwise.
