Solid Gold Soul Investment

Pastor Brandon & the team at Leading Second have been one of the greatest proponents of growth both for me personally as a leader, and to our church team here in Toronto. This podcast has become one of my “go-to” recommendations when it comes to leaders & team members that serve in the local church & have a desire to get better at what they do. Put this at the top of your subscription list, you won’t regret it!
