In this session, we’ll explore practical tools to help others navigate the hard parts while also reshaping the experience into something redemptive, hopeful, and ultimately good.
  • Step Study, Open Share Group, and Open Share Group Only – Ever wondered about the difference between a Step Study, an Open Share Group, and Open Share Group Only?
