Grace that Overcomes-April 19th
What an amazing meeting Scott McFarland shared with us the most important lesson he ever learned in life—HOW TO OVERCOME. He both challenged and inspired us to be overcome’s and to teach our children how to overcome. We were reminded of great women God used in the Bible and the lessons we can learn through their stories and experiences.
