PREPARING TO LEAD

It shapes our way of thinking, how we interact with others, how we approach different situations, and it also shapes the things that we are passionate about. God uses our pain to stretch and grow us and ultimately, for His purposes and His glory. In today’s episode, Chris Elledge, CEO/Founder of Fahrenheit: Real. Life.
