Get Back to the Basics: Who are You??

Season 2 has begun! What better way to start a new chapter than to go back to the fundamentals of your foundation? Episode 1 is a discussion on the significance of humility within the re-evaluation of who you are and what you actually want/need. The conversation also touches on instances when as humans, we need to be honest about the fact that, at times we don't have the answer to these tough questions...which is ok because it should point us to God--who ultimately wants to share His purpose for our lives with us.  As always, thank you for the support and remember to share with a friend and give us a 5 star rating if you love what you hear!  Follow the movement on Instagram @theempowerment.project, there's a lot of cool things coming!  What to expect for future episodes: * 1 new episode a month (at least) published on the 2nd Sunday of each month
