Now at age 26 he is a singer, songwriter and produces his own music. Tyler enjoys being on the road sharing his music with various communities (when Covid is not a factor). Our conversation was funny and lively. I am so encouraged after our conversation. Find out more about Tyler at...https://instagram.com/thetylerjarvis?igshid=407y7bhy3lgl

Yesterday was a big day with the verdict surrounding the Breonna Taylor Case. Today I don't need you to hear more of my voice. Today is a day to LISTEN, LAMENT & LEARN. Compassion follows listening. We can't have compassion for others if we are not willing to listen to their stories. Today I am listening and lamenting and learning and my hope is that you would choose to do the same.

This season we are talking to guests who have been through (or are going through) LEFT TURNS in life. They have said yes to following Jesus off the beaten path.

There's nothing better to me then hearing the good news of how the Lord has revealed His goodness to someone in the midst of uncharted territory.
