155: Legacy Before Kids

Our current series, The Blessing, is about passing the goodness of God onto the next generation. But what about those who don’t have kids of their own?

In today’s episode, Lance Lawson sits down with Sherry Royce and Brianna Bolling to discuss this and more.

Recently, Aaron Lutz sat down with two area little league coaches, Michael Graves and Aaron Chester, to talk about coaching from a Christian worldview.

On this episode, Aaron Lutz sits down with Courtney Ricketts and Aric Harding to talk about what it’s like to see the world through the lens of an Enneagram 6 and Enneagram 7.

But more than knowing ourselves better, we want to know and follow Jesus more fully, so how can the Enneagram be used as a tool to grow spiritually?
