ep.150: Three Branches of Discipleship & Listener Questions

In this episode of the podcast, Mike and John answer some listener questions, starting with a listener who wants to hear more about the three branches of discipleship. So, we highlight what we mean by that, and explain how it's applied in the curriculum and how you can apply it in your ministry without using the curriculum. Then we talk about what to do about stinky teenagers.
