Failing Youth Pastor Podcast Failing Youth Pastor

My wife Becky joined me for this episode of the podcast. I rambled on about a lot of things but eventually talked about the importance of investing in our students. 

On this episode of the FYP Podcast Travis takes a voicemail listener question and makes it into an entire episode. Impressive, I know!

He also discusses a recent event he did called Stump the Pastors where his students got to grill area pastors with their burning questions.
