#47: Genuine Connection with Denise

Today we are in conversation with Denise. Denise is a wife and a mother of 5 children. She is a woman who has a servant’s heart, a strong love for God, and from a young age has had a desire to bring people closer together. Denise talks in this episode about the importance of true connection, and community. Throughout all of the changing circumstances in her life, Denise can look back and recall a friend who stuck with her through it all. Denise’s value of community with friends and family is truly inspiring. I hope this episode encourages you to go deeper in your friendships, and work towards true connection with others.
