To Be Concluded: Find Hope for Your Future -- Mike Ashcraft (Ep 222)
One of the worst things we can do is drag parts of our piled-up past into our present and future. God uses seasons. But if we don't do the hard work of getting real closure on a season, we probably won't experience the new beginnings God has for us. Feel held back or stuck? Many do. This hope-filled conversation with Mike Ashcraft can help you experience grace and break free.

We can reframe our life with powerful horizons. -- Brian
