Vulnerability is the key to the invisible prison. Our fearless Co-Founders Stephanie Reed and Suzi Hanson have helped place this as the foundation of our ministry. You may remember both of these lovely ladies from our previous episodes, and now we’ll be having a conversation with both of them together under one roof as we read a message that was sent in from one of our listeners. This brave woman wrote us to let us know the struggle that she is going through on her journey to building trust. We are going to honor her bravery and speak around the topic of vulnerability.
Let’s jump into the episode and talk about the what, why, and how vulnerability will ultimately lead us to our freedom.
