Episode 033 – 10 Million Dollars Educating YouWe all mistakes. We all have blunders. But how we view these failures has a significant impact on how quickly we recover and how much we learn in the process. This episode addresses the redemptive nature of failure and how I believe God views our mistakes, which for many of us, is very different than what we often believe - and it’s dramatically hindering us!
