Session Title: "Out of the overflow."

Session Summary: The Commission of Jesus was never intended to come from a place of duty or obligation but instead out of the overflow. When our words come from this place, sharing about Him no longer feels like a duty but a joy and our words no longer come across forced but natural and full of love.

Session Summary: Conversational skill training for engaging meaningfully not only with strangers in the course of an average day - but with those you meet and know every day.
