I have been working for Apologia Express for over 20-some years, um, but I've also been a youth minister for 13-some years.

And, uh, the topic here is, in the lesson series, is supposed to be, it's for youth ministers, but this is a lesson that is not just for youth ministers.

This is something that the whole church needs to be, um, working on because there's a soul at stake.
