(Luke 10:27) I found out as a professional counselor that if I could focus on getting people reconnected with God and each [...]

Last night I met with my monthly men’s discipleship group. We had just read John Maxwell’s Be a People Person. One of the topics we talked about was that to be a successful leader we have to be willing to risk with both our dreams and in our relationships with other people. We talked about what [...]
