See the Good, Be the Good

This week, we talk about seeing good in the world and finding ways to do good. It's so easy to see all the negativity around us, but Trillia Newbell wants that to change. We also talk about a blind runner who ran the NYC half marathon with directions from his smart glasses. And we talk about a nun who runs a transition home for men who've recently gotten out of prison, and wants others to see the good in these men. These are encouraging stories that we'd love for you to hear too. Watch and join in on the conversation today!
