I wanted to take a minute to reach out to those of you who may be unsure about this whole youth group thing.  Listen, I hear ya.  And I want you to know I understand. It wasn’t all that long ago when I was in your shoes. I remember going to my first youth group event, feeling super anxious and unsure. My siblings were part of the youth group, so it was just sort of expected I would be too.  Everyone was older than me and knew each other. I saw that they really were having fun and experiencing Jesus in a way that seemed really cool (but new) to me.  But I wasn’t sure of my place, if I fit in, or if this was something for me. Well, I’ll tell you what happened. I gave it a chance. I kept going back, even when the first few times felt a little uncomfortable. I graduated high school as a teen leader in that very same youth group.  Guys, it changed my life. I know that this may be new for some of you.  It may seem like the last thing you want to do. I’m asking you to give it a chance.
