“In a culture where relational intimacy is dwindling, information overload is on the rise, and busyness are at the forefront - our ability to relate to one another authentically gets lost. I offer heart connectedness, vulnerability, and wisdom for those who are yearning to go deeper and longing for more meaningful relationships and intimacy with God.”
