Description
We're an atypical youth ministry podcast for two reasons: first, we're a few atypical people, and two, we work in a typical size church with a typical size youth ministry. We're sharing what we do, what works, and what doesn't while having fun along the way.
Hosts: Jeff Selph, Joey DeKoekKoek, and Erika Doorn
