Having a solid Christian community can be the difference between you walking in your purpose and giving up at the sight of the first obstacle.
The people around you matter. When you set out to do the powerful work of God designed you for through your purpose, there will be obstacles. There is nothing like having a community of faith-filled Believers who rally to support you. This is why I invited the founder of Black Christian Influencers (BCI) on the show to break down building a christian community.
