YHC spoke about the importance of the unseen world and how much more it should weigh on or hearts and minds than the seen world.. That we should be watchful and on guard because we are doing impactful things and or enemy doesn’t like this and will attempt to stop us from making an impact. That he will attempt to steal any and all of our joy. And that we ARE making an impact….to reach out to more men  and help them to become better men and leaders. Thank you men for helping me!
