This week's post will be short because it's actually an audio recording. This past week, I had the opportunity to speak at Highlands in Cleveland, a small group for teens in the Cleveland area. Just like any small group, there are games and activities, a time of worship, and a message. I was invited by Mrs. April and Mr. Browning to speak on a subject.

How would one know about Him if no one was willing to share what He did for them. He died on the cross and restored a broken relationship with the Father. As a follower of Christ, I need to connect with people, whether it’s my neighbors or someone from across the world, and tell them about...
