Episode 165: Youth Pastors, Social Media & “Friends”

In today’s episode, we examine whether Youth/Student Ministry Pastors should be friends with or follow their students on social media. We’ve been investigating this question, and we asked the attendees at the Women in Apologetics conference for their take on it. We biblically unpack the three most common reasons why Christians believe Youth Pastors should be friends/follow students.
