Western Contours

Hanging out at Mile High Hunt and Fish Expo with my friend Heidi Stout. So this convo is open and honest, we talk about sudden spiritual awakening, baptism, and how surrendering to Christ changed our lives. We explore spiritual warfare, the power of testimony, and the balance between solitude and community on faith walks.
