Firmly Standing on Solid Ground

August 29th, 2024

As I listen to them, the stories our clients tell have four themes: loss, abandonment, addiction, and abuse.

Christ’s Victory Shown through Graduation Testimonies

August 1st, 2024

First impressions – this time of graduation and commencement. People say all sorts of things at commencement don’t they?

Shelter for the Hopeful

July 18th, 2024
