From Meek to Leader: Lessons from Fred the Vampire Accountant

Is your spiritual walk "utterly uninteresting," or is it a journey of growth? In this episode, Celeste dives into the finale of Drew Hayes' Fred the Vampire Accountant series to look at how a character goes from meek and mild to a confident leader.Using 1 Corinthians 13:11, we discuss the vital difference between having a childlike faith and staying in childish ignorance.
