Tell Someone

Tell Someone One of the things our Northside teenagers have been working on in small groups is learning how to articulate their faith. More specifically, they are learning how to articulate the Gospel. And it has made me think: How many of us could clearly explain the Gospel if someone simply asked us what it…
