We certainly are not strangers to an adventure! In fact, we LOVE adventures! But, we do tend to approach them differently. In this episode, we are going to talk about what exactly it means to have a sense of adventure, share some funny stories with you, and talk about how the two of us “adventure” differently.

We sat down in our living room together that day, and Tyler and Kelsie shared their story and a message of hope with us. We hope it will be a blessing to you today.
