“All my life, I said I hated small groups. People are fake. I don’t need to go share my feelings with strangers.” We can all relate to these types of anxious thoughts driven by fear. Clint just happened to put it into words. This past December Clint shared with us on the blog how spiritual family changed his life, but it wasn’t just a one time thing. Take a look at how he is still experiencing the power of spiritual…
“Your gift doesn’t matter.” Maybe you have believed this lie. The truth is that we all have something valuable to add.

We’re seeing you step up, step out, and help others in ways that are so valuable, needed, and life-giving.
