Today's episode is packed with such nuggets of wisdom. You are going to love my conversation with the Lead Pastor of Forest City Church, Eric J. Parks share about one of his hidden treasure epiphanies. Eric would consider himself a futurist, one who enjoys looking ahead at the possibility of what is to come. He shares about the last three years of building a church where everyone is welcome to the table and can sit and rest in their own innate gifts. Plus, we dive into doing the work to become a whole person and what it is like to thrive in relationships when we have to say we are sorry. Grateful that you are here and remember Your parable showcases how He has given you so much hidden treasure.
If you are a human, if you are a leader, your going to mess some stuff up. You just will. It's unavoidable.
