It's week 2 of FINDING YOUR FLAVOR and this week we are jumping in to the first two of 9 spiritual temperaments: the NATURALIST (connecting with God through nature) and the SENSATE (connecting with God through our senses).
If you never knew that you could actually worship God through either of those methods, then be sure to listen to the end and join in the weekly challenges that we'll be doing this week.
Enjoy!
