It’s time to return to it.If you’ve been feeling distracted, numb, or unsure of your place in the world, this conversation will give you clarity, conviction, and the courage to lead again.Shane Winnings is the CEO of Promise Keepers, a global men's ministry committed to raising up godly men who lead with courage, conviction, and purpose.
