    Why Me?

    Recently, I went on a trip with another ministry I am part of, called LeaderPaths, which takes students on experiential learning trips. This year, we took students to the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter, where we learned how a Scholar put his passion into practice (Ken Ham). In this talk we ask the question: Why Me? As I go through my testimony of struggles in life to how I came to truly understand Gods glory within my struggles. For more information on LeaderPaths go to LeaderPaths.com

    Giving a Defense for the Resurrection

    In this week's episode, we do a reaction video on the resurrection of Christ. Some claim that Jesus was either not a real person, was never killed, or that because we don't all agree where His tomb is, Jesus never resurrected. These are baseless claims, and so we tackle a few different arguments and go through how we know through evidence that Jesus Christ is ALIVE and Resurrected.
