This conversation was recorded a few weeks before the Pandemic broke out. We didn’t know what was coming then, yet somehow it seems fitting to share this now at a time when many are dealing with the loss of loved ones while being isolated and in quarantine.

We hope this is a meaningful and encouraging conversation for you today.
