Good day, sir. I read an article on “telling someone your hidden sin.” I was thinking of telling my pastor my hidden sin, which is a sin against my former church. I am new in the church. Letting him into my hidden sin will make me uncomfortable in the church. I need help. –Chris

We are getting small groups together with teens. There are many unchurched participating. We have churched teens with serious issues (sin issues) in play. Questions: is segregating the teens from parents a good idea? (There is an adult present and leading in each small group.) Some kids in the groups do not yet know or embrace the gospel. Do you have any recommendations on how to lay something like this out? Are the groups best tailored for Christian kids? We need some help! – im
