Full StoryHow God Transformed Me.

The Connecting Conversation
by Bill Blair
How many people do you know who are struggling with something or someone in their life?
I am sure if you think about for a few seconds you will begin to come up with a laundry list of people who could use some help or some advice. There is probably one guy or girl dating [...]
Imagine Me
This is a song I heard performed at the Leadership Summit by Kirk Franklin and a great group of singers. It is about healing and imagining yourself free from baggage. So listen to it and imagine yourself free. Imagine people around you free.
