    Introduction to my faith

    Introduction to my faith

    Some of you may know I have a degree in ministry but may be surprised to hear I haven't read the bible cover to cover or currently go to church. Having "faith" has caused a lot of heart ache in many families and my goal isn't to convert anyone but rather have you listen to my journey and thoughts and support those in the dance community that have been hurt by faith or want to know more. Enjoy this episode and as always I hope for nothing but positivity and love for you all.
