Episode 174: The Charity Segment

We don’t often break out our episodes into individual segments…in fact, we haven’t done that in almost two years now. However, the stories and messages that came through during our conversation with Michael last night about the charity that we’re working with for Thursday night’s events are extremely powerful, woefully undiscussed, and need to be brought to light. Please donate in advance at http://ubmwarren.org/peacehouse The really big push for the charity this year is running a house that pr...
