And we're back! Back in Nashville that is! 

Zac and Chad sit down with Kyle Wilshire to talk about why youth ministry has to move past keeping students busy and doing and start forming students who go and live sent. 

We unpack the Great Commission, what mission trips can and cannot do, and how to build everyday courage for gospel conversations in real life and online.
