In Philadelphia, I would drive back to Maryland every other weekend to teach Bible study. The first group were college kids that no one wanted to teach – the so-called “outcasts” (gay, abandoned, abused, the “loose” one, etc). This group evolved into all college guys. Both times, some church leaders tried to stop these groups. I kept in touch with a good number of those I taught, and recently heard some nice things. One of the guys told me that one of the best things I taught them was to be brave with women and to serenade them. Almost all the guys are now married.
