Michelle (current Senior Minister at CSL North Jersey). I started taking her classes, including Dancing with the Shadow, in 2018-2019. Her gentle guidance and teaching… More Dancing with the Shadow
Many kinds of prayer exist across the cultures of the world. All have their place and usefulness in our lives with varying degrees of effectiveness.
