Pierce Marks interview was great. God is love. Life-changing. An excellent message for all of us deconstructing and reconstructing. Leslie is so gracious.

I didn’t even know about the label of destruction… yet totally makes sense. I’ve enjoyed all the insights and have had some ‘light bulbs’ moments.
Keep listening to others!
