Better Together (Danielle Strickland)

We will transform and become examples of equality and equity as in the Garden of Eden where we were made better, together.

Though they are not always easily identified, the impact of painful memories, the repeated embrace of lies, and falsely held beliefs all shape how we interact with the world around us, others, and even God. *Coming to J...

Better Together - Session 6 - Transition to Thriving
