Good that they held seminars on "Family" in the schools of Luga, the children need it today. Also interesting that they made their own platform "Spirituality" with podcasts and videos. I'd like to see some of this stuff later if they upload it somewhere.

And the “Spirituality” platform turned out to be interesting: the guys made a podcast about how to maintain a prayer rule while camping with a tent, and a short video about choosing a profession without fuss. If they post links, I'll definitely take a look. What would you suggest adding to such media?
