”
As a leader, it can be tough to find places to ask real questions and share real challenges, especially around sexuality. This cohort provided me a space to be transparent and to engage the content meaningfully. It also gave me a picture of the kind of community we want to see in our church. Thank you for hosting this incredible experience!
