In this episode, we hear a sermon that was delivered by Clare Stern-Burbano and Dani Valencia Montoya on May 7th for Youth Sunday. They addressed the challenges and healing spaces that studying scripture offer us as followers of Christ.
Additionally, they also have a conversation about what the sermon writing process was life, what types of prayer and research processes they went through and what they felt the Spirit was moving them to say to the congregation, but especially young people as they discern who, what God is to them in their lives.
