On this episode of Coffee With Friends, special guest, friend of the show, and Cooper's little brother Gabe joins The Boys for a lengthy discussion on evangelism and discipleship in Gen Z and the local church in general. Gabe talks about his time at UNCW and his local church there, their evangelism efforts, and what he sees on the ground.
