In this episode, Allen and Colin, seasoned experts when it comes to youth ministry, help you get past these problems and make small groups work for your youth group.

Disclaimer: At Ascension, we are fully committed to the fullness of truth found in the Catholic faith. We also love that while adhering to certain unchangeable truths, Catholics of goodwill can hold and express an abundance of different perspectives and opinions. We want this podcast to be a forum where an open and candid exchange of these views can occur. As such, the views expressed by the guests on our show are their views and not necessarily those of Ascension.
