The Young Adult Podcast

As we wrap up this season of the podcast, we take a behind-the-scenes look at a year of leadership, growth, and formation. From retreat moments to everyday routines, we share how God surprised us this year.

In this episode, we hear real stories of encountering Jesus—through pain, through routine, and everything in between. Because of the Holy Spirit, every moment holds the possibility of a thin place where God speaks and changes our story.

As we wrap up the Passio series, we take time to process the reality of grief, suffering, and lament. Together, we talk about how to sit in pain honestly—and how Jesus draws near, not in spite of it, but within it.
