This week on the podcast, it's just me, and it's story time! In this episode I delve into my experiences in my church's high school ministry when a girl and I began to develop feelings for each other, and how the church responded and navigated our relationship. I cover topics such as where the ultimate authority falls in a young person's life, and the damage that can be inflicted when a church's decisions are guided by fear and a desire for control.   This episode follows the topics and themes of Chapter 8, "About A Girl", in my book "A Jumble of Crumpled Papers".   Get your copy of “A Jumble of Crumpled Papers” here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BCD5PMX5/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=      Connect with us!
