Built By Him
A podcast by teens, for teens. Members from the organization HXP discuss questions related to how teenagers can build their relationship with God through the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Humanitarian Experience (HXP) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization aligned with the principles, vision, and values of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, HXP is not sponsored or endorsed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Brigham Young University, or any of their affiliates. We all connect to God differently and Built by Him explores how we relate to Him in 4 ways (spiritually, physically, mentally, and socially) based off the scripture Luke 2:52. If you would like to submit a question or comment, please contact info@hxp.org.
