And we want to make a difference in the lives of others, so what that means is it’s worth passing on what we both have learned in areas of what not to do, the good, the bad, the joys, the sorrows, and some vulnerable testimonies of how God has changed us throughout the years.

Submit yourselves to Christ in all things.
