CONNECT
Get STRONGer by CONNECTing with others & GOD
TURN OFF THE NOISE
Your STRONG Challenge continues with “Connect”! This week we will get STRONGer through CONNECTing with people and God (for those looking to strengthen their spiritual lives)
Did you know that on average we receive over 6000 messages a day? Let that sink in...
The constant beeps, dings, buzzes, updates, and tweets are demanding our attention and severely hurting our health. And worse, they are pulling us away from the things that truly matter the most in our short lives. This week, we challenge you to go deeper mentally and spiritually in the Challenge.
You got this and we believe in YOU, because YOU are STRONG.
