Threshold Conversations seeks to address the often-hard, elephant-in-the room questions and topics that young Christians are unsure of how to approach. We'll sit with guests who will help to shed light on these topics, in hopes that many of us will receive the clarity and understanding we need to press forward in freedom, and be bold representatives of Christ in this world.
