In this episode of Daring Grace, host Brittany Bethel sits down with two summer staff members from different points on their Cross Connection journey. Anna, a seasoned third-year, and Riley, a first-year staffer, share their honest reflections after wrapping up their very first week of camp this summer.
Together we talk about:
Highlights and surprises: The moments that made them laugh, think, or feel God’s presence in unexpected ways.
Growth in action: How Anna’s experience shaped her leadership this year, and how Riley’s first week challenged and encouraged her.
The heartbeat of camp: Building relationships, serving communities, and creating spaces where everyone belongs.
Whether you’ve been following Cross Connection’s story for decades or are just discovering the joy of camp ministry, this conversation captures the energy, faith, and life-changing connections that happen when people show up ready to serve.
