PODCAST- How to have a successful, scary conversation… with Pastor Stephon Henderson

Conversation??? What is that? You mean that thing where you have to engage with people??? Like, people who might think differently than you do? Maybe even disagree with… vehemently?

Why do you think the way you do? Wouldn’t you like to know… As it turns out, though, you’re in luck (if you believe in that kind of thing… and if you do, why do you? Wouldn’t you like… wait, I’m caught in a loop, someone help me) Now where was I? Ah yes, luck. […]

Don’t you just love a good old fashioned underdog story? Until that underdog, of course, is you. That’s a DIFFERENT story altogether. Let’s face it.
