You've heard of playing small but are you praying small? Sometimes, we're scared to ask God about what we should do because we're scared of the answer.

He's going to talk to us about sin so we better clean up our minds and calm down. If you want to read more about the Marian Mastermind, CLICK THIS LINK. Doors close tomorrow, October 19th.
