Podcast Description
Second City is a gathering of high school students and leaders from different backgrounds, schools, & neighborhoods on the San Francisco peninsula united in trying to be authentic and live our lives in light of a great, big God that loves us without measure or conditions. We don’t pretend to have all the answers. We’re simply a community seeking to learn more together about the big questions of life and faith in God. We do this every Sunday morning through worship and music, hearing each others’ stories, learning from the life of Jesus that we read in the Bible, and sharing our lives. Our hope is that we would leave each Sunday morning somehow different than when we arrived because of the way we hear from and experience God. This Podcast is an archive of our teaching at Second City.
