In this episode, I talk with Christopher Wesley, the Youth Pastor at Church of the Nativity, a Catholic Church right in the same county I'm in here in Maryland. Church of the Nativity does an amazing job holding to Catholic traditions and practices while pushing the envelope to reach people who are not a part of any church. Primarily, however, we talk with Chris about having a strategy for youth ministry.
