An excellent course!

I enjoyed all the sessions. As a chaplain for MRO, it was refreshing to hear Billy share. The other speakers were great as well with so many things to glean for ministry in general and in sports.

This was extremely helpful because I was stretched, encouraged, able to see where I am on the spectrum and where to make adjustments and I added more tools to my kit.

I found this course potentially leading me forth into a Ministry to pursue in my now semi-retired state as a trained and educated helping professions individual.
