    As two guys who both grew up loving our youth group (and eventually both worked in youth ministry for a season!), this video was all-too-easy to write. Hope you all enjoy!

      I flipped through it after I had been married to see what it was about. 🤷🏼‍♀️ A valuable life lesson I was taught was to not take one resource and make it the center of my universe. It’s sad to me that many people have such negative reviews, but I truly do see the value in not dating around. I was taught about courtship since I was little and I’ve watched many people go through it successfully. 🤷🏼‍♀️
