This past week, I spoke at my church’s youth group about homosexuality and the purpose of sex. I got a lot of good feedback from the kids and even some of their parents afterwards. I hope it can be a blessing to you as well if this is something you think about. I’m not the greatest public speaker, but I’m happy the Lord could use me nonetheless.
I’ll put some timestamps below if you are interested in skipping to a particular question.
