Rev.

This week - are you currently too busy to really focus on the important things in life? Every time you say "Yes" to something, you say "No" to something else. What do you need to say "No" to so that you can better connect with your family, your Christian Community, and God?

Rev. Tom pushes Grand View in week 1 to look at the baggage we all have and to drop the weight as we transition in seasons of life.
