Becoming Whole
What is the goal of life and how can we achieve it? This question is ingrained in every human heart. Politicians and philosophers have tried to answer it, but their solutions fall far short. What does it take to truly flourish as a man or woman, including those trapped in poverty? Chris Brooks will explore the physical and eternal answers with author and professor Dr. Brian Fikkert, coming up on Equipped!
