Y'all. We are actually improving over here! This was my favorite episode to record with them by far. It's such a sweet gift to see them grow and change so much even in the two minutes of air time they get on these episodes.

A brief reflection on the story of Jesus found in the temple, as told in the Gospel of Luke. I find, for myself, lessons to be learned from the leadership/coming-of-age role the boy Jesus steps into, and the leadership roles the Parkland students have been thrust into. There's a strong reluctance among many adults in power to take these young peopl…
