Welcome to this week’s episode of the podcast where Brent sits down with Shawna Riley, the associate youth pastor at Wylie Methodist Church in Abilene, Texas, as they talk about the pros and cons of writing your own curriculum as well as buying curriculum and some things to consider in your decision.
