How about you? https://wildhappyfamily.com/strong-family-centre
Last week we just completed our first run with something we called the Four Week Debrief.

"Ever since I found myself in Israel all those years ago, my perspective on doing scary things, taking risks, and plans has all changed. The older I get, the more and more I embrace doing the scary and using fear to make me strong (and my faith stronger!).
