They tell you about the unending busyness with their job, the ups and downs of their relationship with their significant other, and the recent conflict they had with a friend.

Read MoreI heard the name “D.L. Moody” a lot growing up in church. I knew he was a well-known evangelist who did a lot of amazing work to spread the gospel, but it wasn’t until recently that I learned more about D.L. Moody’s story and what a ripple effect it had on the God’s Kingdom.
