Sign up in the Lobby before/after church where you can also purchase The Broken Way for $12.00. "There's a way that beckons you into more time, more meanings, more authentic relationships. There's a way, especially when things aren't shaping up quite like you imagined, that makes life take the shape of more - more abundance, more intimacy, more God. There's a way of honest, transformative power. Dare to take the broken way - to abundance."
