Grace & Truth Talks

In this powerful episode of Grace & Truth, we tackle a real and necessary question: As a team, how do we keep the enemy out?

We often mistake a broken chapter for a finished book. We allow a single season of pain, a mistake, or a divorce to become the label we wear for the rest of our lives.
