After a local church got into hot water for an email that went viral, we discuss whether churches should have ministry standards for volunteers. Is it okay for a church to expect volunteers to live by a code of conduct or is it asking too much? We play a Valentine's Day game to see who is more of a cupid.  To support the podcast, go to our patreon page here: www.patreon.com/nymchristianpodcast Don't forget to subscribe, share, and give us a nice review. www.facebook.com/nymchristianpodcas...
