Campfire Conversations are an opportunity to hear the kind of conversations you hear around the campfire with friends. It is so easy in our busy lives to forget what really matters. The campfire is a place where we make space to talk about things that count and to remember that we are made for more. Host Ryan Tinetti, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Arcadia, MI, and Co-Host Chip May, Executive Director have deep and not so deep conversations about our Christian faith and lives with the engaging and thoughtful leaders that come to Camp Arcadia each summer.
