We exist in a culture where everyone desires conversations and deep relationships, but they’re getting harder and harder to find.Our guest today, English professor, author, and speaker Heather Holleman, offers a winsome entryway into practicing deeper and more meaningful conversations rooted in seeing all people as created in the image of God.
