By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I was reading the story of Rahab. It’s funny because we are all familiar with the story.

The realest. Brilliance. I never tire of listening to both of these men separately. So cool to hear them together. “I’ve never been afraid to die. I’ve been afraid to not live each day fully.” Erwin McManus
