At Defining the Dash, we want to take the time to share with you the testimonies of our Heroes of the Faith that have made a difference in our lives and communities. For those heroes that have already gone on, we don’t want their legacy to disappear with them. We want to share that with others, and with our youth. We want young people today, to know that God can and will use them, regardless of age. We each were made with a purpose and a calling. Let us laugh with you and pray with you, while you try to recognize that calling. Our Life is defined by a dash. The little mark on a tombstone between date of birth and date of death. That little mark, encompasses all that you were here in this life. Let us help you, â€Define the Dash.†Disclaimer*** It is important to note that the views expressed in these podcasts, are ours and do not reflect the views of any particular religious affiliation, church or organization.
