Have you ever felt like you were the first to break the cycle? This is our final collaboration with The Baton Pass as we celebrate their Spring Event season called Illuminate when Light Reveals.  If you haven’t heard about the Baton Pass before, they believe when stories are shared chains will break and divine connections will be made. Grateful to be a part of their advising team and honored to hear another parable story from Shequan Palmer.
