Keeping Me Accountable and Energized

Kristin’s advice and experience has led me many decisions and issues in ministry. Even though our youth dynamics are very different, her tips and tricks almost always can be applied to the youth ministry at our church. She had really given me the spark of inspiration just when I need it. I am so grateful for this podcast!!!!
