Chaos And The Peace of God

Hard to believe that just one week ago, my brave friend Trish, Molly, and I hopped into my car and set-off for Nashville. 3 days and 2,100 miles later we arrived a little delirious but no worse for the wear. Monday brought my first day at Food for the Hungry. Meeting a contractor at my […]

Permission to Dream

Today’s post is from Amanda Williams. I met Amanda about 18 months ago when I was in desperate need of a running partner and she innocently tweeted about joining the East Nasty’s, an East Nashville running group.

What Fear Can Kill

Today’s post is from Bianca Juarez Olthoff. ‘B’ works for The A21 Campaign as the Chief Storyteller. And she is believes in me, and my dreams, even when I can’t believe in them myself.

Brave Enough to Dream

Today’s post is from Stephen Brewster. ‘Brewster’ works for Cross Point Church as the Creative Arts Pastor and he is a hustlin’ creative and one of the best encouragers I know.
