Beginning again isnโt always about changing directionโitโs about renewal. When leaders grow weary or lose alignment with what matters most, transformation often begins within.

Walking the Way: The Invitation to a Beautiful Life โธป โPreach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words.โ (St. Francis of Assisi) For most of my life, Iโve stood behind a pulpitโproclaiming the gospel, week after week.
