Chris Padgett, a musician and youth evangelist joined Bill and Rich for the second interview. Something that Chris brought to light about youth ministry is that even for a travelling speaker, you deal with real people who experience real brokenness. He spoke of the supreme gift it has been for him to travel and experience so many different people in all the different walks of life.
He recently returned from a trip to Canada where he spoke to 20,000 young people in 9 days. Tonight begins the Summer Youth Conference stint in Steubenville, Ohio at Franciscan University of Steubenville. Chris asks that we join him in praying for him and the other speakers as well as the young people they will encounter there.
