About
YouthCast explores the intersection of faith and day-to-day living through stories of God's faithfulness in modern-day, lived experiences. Find interviews, sermons, music, and more through our podcast and YouTube channel. The spiritual birth and growth of young people — that’s the goal of YouthCast by the Church of Jesus Christ. Serving Christ (and not yourself) is what makes life worth living. YouthCast inspires you to catch this vision. Challenges you to put first things first. Supports you when it gets tough. And cheers your every step. YouthCast is produced by The General Missionary Benevolent Association, an auxiliary of The Church of Jesus Christ, headquartered in Monongahela, PA.
