Throughout my childhood, my siblings and I were given value and worth by our parents. They encouraged us to pursue our ambitions and afforded us the opportunity to pursue them. My father was ...  Read More

Mark 10:45 Transformation. It’s a word I’ve heard a lot this month; people resolving to transform their bodies with diet and exercise. Our women’s group has been going through a study that focuses on transforming our thoughts. Podcasts and reels highlight home transformations and personal growth transformations. Have you ever thought about transforming service and leadership in your life? Today’s ...  Read More
