Every person on the planet is an image-bearer of God. This conversation is a challenge to see beyond the facade and exterior of people and recognize that there is a measure of God's glory on the life of every individual person. It is also a conversation about what is TRUE SUCCESS and learning to live in radical obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
