With a heart for youth, Brandon has grown up in the Douglas County area before spending three years in a school of ministry out of California. Now in leadership at Garden Valley, running a successful youth ministry, Brandon wanted to speak to the culture of today and the youthful perspective that comes with his experience. He has extensive connections throughout the Pacific Northwest region and with other youth pastors, drawing on those people and experience to be able to talk candidly about being fully alive, living in the Spirit, mental health today and so much more in this podcast. The guest speakers that have been brought in for this range from local youth pastors, retired youth ministry leaders, international missionaries, mental health professionals, parents, and teens alike -- all focused on speaking truth to the culture we each live in.
