Relationships can be kind of fragile. Trust can be hard to build and easy to lose. Because our spiritual life depends so heavily on healthy relationships, it’s worth the effort to develop a strong foundation, Today we are thinking about Building Trust, Why and How.

Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It’s very cool that we can do that together!
